Subject: Re: WEDNESDAY THE 17th by TommyT-Bone on 2024/4/17 15:07:01 STOP THE INSANITY! Last night Sue and I were driving home from the casino. We were getting close to home and had to go over a railroad crossing. A very bumpy railroad crossing. Just after we cleared it we heard a noise come from the back of the Suburban. A chunk of glass fell from the right rear quarter panel into the storage area.  Of course I accused Sue of driving too fast over the crossing and the body flex must have broken the glass. Too dark to see much last night but upon further inspection this morning I found what appered to be an impact point. Looks like one of three possiblities. A vandal broke the glass with something at the casino. (An old man was pissed we had taken a handicapped spot before he could get it. He flipped me off but I didn't see it. Sue did.) We have a placard but don't put it up till we're parked.) Someone threw a rock or shot it with a bb gun at the crossing or somewhere else. Sue thinks every trip is like driving a race at Daytona so another driver could have done it on the highway. In any case I brought the Suburban into the glass shop today and should have it back by this evening. It should cost around $325. They told me $306 but not sure if that included sales tax. Tha saga continues. Speaking of Daytona ..... Florida passed a slower traffic keep right law that will soon be enforced by Highway Patrol. We have an incredible number of left lane huggers that obstruct the flow of traffic. Funny thing is the right lanes often end up being tha passing lanes. Some people get in the left lane and just drive the speed limit. The unmitigated gall. Dont they understand Florida driving? 80 is the new 60/65/70. Many drive at 90 plus. Directionals are optional. No matter how many laws thay pass you can't fix stupid. Not to fo forget. Many that live here don't hablo the inglés. Others need to get a cell phone implant. And yet others should have given up their license years ago. Time to move on. But before I go, to those that keep their Christmas lights up year round .... Merry Christmas.  |
