TOUCHE !

OK, something about this mornings freeway traffic was debunk. First off, it was very light - due to voting I am sure. However, still very dangerous. As I entered onto the 101 freeway from Highland Ave, I noticed the freeway was light - wet, and had a light glow to it from the emerging sun rays. I pushed my stick into Sport mode, and took off - getting merged with the flowing traffic pretty quickly.

Suddenly... I was behind a grey Range Rover, who slammed her brakes as another Range Rover (white) crossed her path - cutting her off at 50+ miles per hour, as to not miss her upcoming exit which was 2 lanes to the right. I them ended up in the middle of the two after I moved into the lane to my right. There I was - between 2 Range Rovers, and the middle of a "finger war".... as in the middle finger. One woman was screaming at the other, the other was laughing back at her and saying "HI" with her middle finger. There I was - caught in the middle. What a downer.

Both drivers with NO passengers in their car, driving completely uneconomical and environmental vehicles. They were about mid-thirties to forty, prim, proper, and looked TOTALLY unhappy at the world. I smiled as I moved past them in my lane leaving them with WV-Turbo dust in their eyes... and giggled to myself..... "wow, McCain voters sure are unhappy".
