WOW! It's been a while.

Sorry for not updating to everyone that reads this (Santa, Eddie from the mental ward) but honestly I got busy and this blog, God that's a stupid word, just plain got forgotten about. But something happened the other day and I said... Hey! There's something I could pointlessly write about so no one would read it!

Well, I'm going somewhere, and as I'm driving along, I wind up behind this guy with a giant sticker in his back window that says in GIANT words...

A RECKLESSLY DISTRACTED DRIVE ALMOST KILLED ME!

We both wind up in the turn lane and as he leans forward, and looks to his left to look for traffic, I see that he's on his cell phone! HA! I see the perfect opportunity to be a smart ass. So immediately there are train tracks, and thank God a train comes along, so we both get stopped. So I zip around on his left, and do that "roll down your window" motion which I'm surprised people still react too. Do cars even come with window cranks anymore? And what's the deal with these small toilet paper rolls nowadays? Anyway he rolls down his window with the phone still up to his ear. Here's the conversation...

Him: What's up?
Me: Was that recklessly distracted driver you?! (pointing at him)
Him: **Staring at me bewildered**
Me: You know...That recklessly distracted driver? You're on your cellphone, was that you?
Him: I CAN TALK ON THE PHONE! (he's upset, I think)
Me: Yeah but you're recklessly distracted aren't you? You could almost kill somebody!
Him: WELL I'M NOT TEXTING!!
Me: (I actually start laughing) Don't you see any irony in all this?!
Him **staring at me bewildered again**

Maybe he just forgot about the sticker in the window. The train ends and we pull away. He hangs back. WAY back, and I lose sight of him. Hopefully he didn't almost kill someone that day.
