You gonna look him up?? :sneaky: Sun didn't reveal if the guy was in the lower or upper 2.28% :blink:

Actually I knew two men at opposite ends of the spectrum. I still know the one on the upper end. :D

It just happened that I had passed this semi about 2 minutes before traffic came to a halt. As I passed I noticed the driver looking all around while he drank a Big Gulp. That thought stuck in my head as I stopped. That and another incident taught me a lesson of ALWAYS leaving enough room in front of you to pull out and away if you need to and ALWAYS watch what's going on behind you if traffic starts to slow.

The Chicago freeway drivers need to pay heed to this.....every morning on the news, someone is crunched. And what about all those pile ups in bad weather? 8-o I would rather take my chances on back roads when the weather is bad.

The number of distracted drivers amazes me :grr: Even though it is illegal (at least in NC) as well as incredibly stupid, I can't tell you how many people I see looking down at their phones while they are driving. And I see them crossing the lines and slowing down/speeding up constantly.

I have a hard enough time texting while sitting on my couch :lol: No way would I try to do it while I drive.

:blink: Oh yeah. Mostly being on the motorcycle...I notice people texting all the time. And yes...I'm rude and give them the finger. I don't know if it's the way I look or that my gun is hanging out from under my jacket but...they usually put their phone down and look straight ahead. :laugh:

Good for you! I've almost been sideswiped a few times on the interstate. You look over and they're looking down in their laps - either texting or .........ing. Whichever, they need to pull over to finish.

Driving home the other morning… this chick was in the passing lane. Going slower than the cars in the right-hand lane. She would speed up…slow down…speed up…etc. When I was able to pass her (in the right-hand lane) I saw her looking down at her cell phone. I seriously considered calling the police. But figured I'd be wasting my time :glare:

I know, Dale's been in my thoughts and prayers too!


I mixed up some Caramel Capp for JJ, and some Juicy Fruit and Teaberry for my son. Got everything packaged up and actually got it mailed today :ohmy: I also had a couple of other errands to run.

I caught the culprit who has been ...... on my bed :sneaky: Yep…. Oliver :glare:

So, one of my errands was to buy another litter box. For his gazebo :D

Tink could I have your recipe for Juicy Fruit? Please. Love the stuff and I got a lot of nic in the freezer.

Catching up...........
