And so it goes....

I have only been writing this blog for a few days and it appears that I don't have to worry about ever running out of material.

The intersection of Main and Washington Streets in Middletown has the dubious distinction of being the first location cited twice for stupid moves by drivers.  Last week it was the guy who couldn't figure out how to make a left turn without holding up an entire lane of traffic.  Yesterday it was the UPS driver (K-64889) who made  a left hand turn from Washington onto Main from the RIGHT lane....and yes, there were cars in the right lane.

This morning at 7:00am on Main Street in Portland as I sat waiting for a school bus with flashing red lights to load its passengers at the foot of Fairview Street, I watched in astonishment (but really, why was I astonished?) as a car with NY plate BXJ 957Z (I might have missed the last digit in the blur, rain and semi-darkness, but you know who you are) flew by the bus and all the other stopped cars.  What part didn't you see?  The big yellow bus?  The line of stopped cars?  The flashing red lights?  Moron.


Hey,  it's only 7:56am and I am driving to Massachusetts for a meeting today.  That should provide me with plenty more pavement tales to share. Have a wonderful day....and drive carefully.  Oh, yeah, and when the wipers go on, the head lights are supposed to go on.   Try it.  The life you save might be your own.
