Thumbs down safe at home

Well its Sunday afternoon and believe me around here you are taking a big risk to go out on the public streets,Today is the main day when all of the people with no insurance, no ID, no drivers licence, and no verifiable name or address all get out and drive around . Many enjoy it more if they are drunk so they are also drunk,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Oh well guess thats the way people want it, not me but most people seem to.

Saturdays & Sundays """""everywhere"""""" are always the worst driving days of the week.

It's usually because those people who take the bus and have little driving experience get to rule the roads with that inexperience.

Most people work Monday to Friday.

That's why they came up with the term "Sunday Driver".

Sunday is the only day the IGPS (InterGalactic Positioning System) works... so they're all looking at the screens.

hey,
here in clearwater florida the traffic is rediculous.

now with the snow birds being here the traffic is a nightmare.

roughly a million people in a 27 sq mile radius. young kids,milfs doing there makeup,and chatting at the same time,.......and yes the snow birds.

aint nothing like watching a 90 year old going over the median like its noones business crossing a 4 lane road.

im missing the back country cruisin in western mass.
