Yeah - unlike the pair of chuckleheads I saw yesterday.
I don't know if this was a typical Monday WRT truck traffic, or if the Truckers were taking advantage of all the scales being closed, but there were a LOT of trucks on the road yesterday. One of them brought a new meaning to the term "micro-pbutting" - this buttwipe spent over 10 miles next to another semi, sometimes slowly gaining, sometimes slowly falling back, but mostly just keeping pace - and never actually completeing his "pbutt." All this while doing 65 in a 75 MPH zone.
The backup of vehicles behind these two buttclowns stretched farther than I could see, but neither one cared. The one in the left lane refused to speed up, and the one in the right lane refused to slow down... Until, of course, he decided to take the exit to Sunland Gin Road. Then he hit the brakes - HARD - while still on the freeway. Perhaps coincidentally (but probably not) this hard braking coincided precisely with a lane change on the part of a gold Camry that had been in the left lane for the last few miles, but finally gave up and returned to the right lane. I can just imagine these two chuckleheads giggling like schoolboys on their CBs:
"Wow, Clem, lookit that backup I caused! Nyuk nyuk!!"
"That's nuthin' Bubba - watch while I get this Camry to rear-end me..."
It's bozos like these that make I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson a nightmare stretch of freeway. -- Life is short - drive fast!
85I think that I misinterpreted what Judge C. said last week. We had a bit of JD & water last evening and this time I've got...
