This morning we had some lovely Michigan weather. Freezing rain and sleet changing to rain. Yummy! But hey, it's February in the Winter Wonderland. Most people might think that Michiganders are uniquely qualified to drive through all kinds of weather since we seem to get all kinds here (sometimes in a single day), but alas that is not the case.
I noticed as I carefully navigated the slippery streets that the we roadways actually seems to promote stupidity. For instance, a car is waiting to turn onto the road, but there is traffic coming. "Should I go?" the dumb person wonders. The traffic is too close and moving a bit to fast if the roads were dry, but now that they are wet anything goes.
So the dumb person moves out in front of traffic and creeps up to his cruising speed. Such a person always chooses a speed which is always is ten mph below the average speed. This leaves the poor souls already on the road to frantically maneuver to prevent the merging of automobiles that would be accompanied by crashes, glass breaking, wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
Now, you might think that situation described above would be a rare occurrence, but I saw it no less than six times during a half-hour drive. Most of the time the sumb person pulkled out in front of me. Stupidity is out there people, and it's waiting to cut you off.
And if you are one of these dumb people, that finger I waved at you was just my way of wishing you a great day.
