Washington drivers are by FAR the worse I have ever seen in my life. The state officials make me wonder even more... Who makes a major interstate 60mph speed limit? I live in the Lacey area and HATE I5.

I thought Seattle drivers were not that bad, even morning rush hour when i had to go right through down down wasn't terrible. I may have been expecting worse though who knows.

I had another root canal today, second this month. $2k out of pocket this month to the dentist. I told him i'm pretty sure i'm helping with the payments on his new 911 and he said "what payments?" my point was proven.

Thinking about breaking the pressure washer out tomorrow and washing everything in the driveway...well ok not everything because washing 18 vehicles would take more then a day. Maybe just the F-150, Excursion, Expedition, 300C and Oldsmobile....

I've had to park in a manner like that Suburban, but it was due to another vehicle in the next spot when I parked that caused it to happen.

Sometimes people end up parking like that because of another vehicle that was there first, but has left by the time someone like you takes the picture.

Another thing to bring to your attention is someone like me. If no handicapped space is available, I will sometimes park much farther out and take extra space because I need to be able to open my door all the way so I can use it as a brace to get in and out of my truck. A regular parking spot doesn't allow me to open my door all the way and push on it to get out.

Try driving around Houston. I swear it was a good thing I wasn't armed when I was there around 17 years ago.

When it comes to parking, i like to make my own spots sometimes.


This was over the curb on a rock area, but perfect Ford parking, front row i might add
