I hate to sound like Glen Beck, but I think there is a conspiracy on foot, or it could be that aliens have landed and are taking over the populist. And the reason I feel this way is because ever since the tourist have gone back home, there have been a plethora of very slow drivers that end up in front of your pal. Because my wife, as well, has run into this as of late, something is going on.
Just yesterday I was leaving Camden and going to the dump, I mean the recycling center, and got behind this Toyota going 15 miles and hour in a 25 mph zone. OK, it could have been a real old person driving, or it could be a alien from another plant who has been dropped off on our planet to piss off everyone. After the recycling center, or the dump, I headed off to the Game Zone to purchase a new game for my new Playstation 3. As soon as I hit route 1, the person in front of me must have mistook the route 1 sign for the speed limit. So in about 3 miles I was passed by a 60 year old jogger, a turtle and a women using a walker. I tells ya it is very weird. And like I said it's not just me it's a lot of the people that I have talked to lately are saying the same thing.
So watch out and be attentive, because there out there taking over the body's of older drivers with the clear purpose of driving all of us crazy. So if you get behind some driver that is going 10 mph under the speed limit, back off. Be afraid be very afraid.

My God, 25mph is the speed limit? Surely that is unusual or just for school zones?
Generally in Australia the speed limit is 60km/h (37mph) and I find going that slowly to be very difficult. In school zones it is 40km/h (25mph) main roads can be up to 80km/h (50mph) and highways 110km/h (~70mph).
Not that I am a speed demon, but I'm not in the car for a good time and definitely not a long time, I'm in the car to get somewhere.
Frankly if 25mph was a common speed limit I would ride my bike everywhere. And even then I would be frequently speeding.

Well let me tell you Mr Ssootles, that in Maine, in the school zone it is 15 mph. If you ever did hit a kid doing 15 mph it would bring your vehicule to a complete stop.
Maybe those black flies are infecting people with some kind of crazy virus. 28 Days Later: Maine
Hey those black flys are the reason we have such good tee shit sales up here. Examples; Black flys defenders of the wilderness.
Before anyone provides empathy to Uncle Willie, I would like to interject my analysis. In full discloser, his first purchase of games for his beloved PS3 was Gran Turismo. This game is a realistic high speed racing game that consists of aggressive gallivanting in European sports cars. We all know "Uncle Dubba" lives in a world that only marginally represents realism. For all we know Willie's "15 mph" (or a crime against humanity, as he might put it)could very well have been 46 mph in a 45 mph zone.
I would like to be clear. I am not questioning whether or not Willie is telling us the truth. I am merely posing the question...What version of the truth do you believe, Willie's or Rationality's.
