The Driving Game

Driving around the metropolitan area the last few days have been a wonderful flash back to my life before I moved to Maine. Packed roads, many traffic jams, oh how I missed those, it really connects you to the people around you on the road. And they are saving a lot of energy by not using their signals as much. Plus many drivers are using hand signals, pointing up with their middle finger to say" hey your doing good job" and what they are feeling about my driving prowess. That was a unexpected pleasure. And this wonderful game they play when you are forced to go from 3 lanes of traffic into one, because of the wonderful construction on every road. They make you think that they won't let you feed into the other lanes. You have to stick your fender into their lane and see which one will give in. And when I win I give them a wave, and the other driver beeps his horn and points up to signify that I have won this game. It a lot of fun. And their is this other game that is played is when the person in front of you in the left hand lane is going a little slower than you, and you want to pass. When you pull to the right to get around them they speed up and not let you in. It's a real blast. I had so much fun driving that I just wanted to, well, scream.
