Highway to Hell

It happened again yesterday... It was Friday morning and I was late heading to work (go figure). The good news was that the traffic was light and I was doing great time heading into work. Just as I thought I might make it to work twice on time this week I approached an 80’s dark blue Buick sedan doing 60 in the fast lane. Don’t get me wrong on most days I would be jumping for joy doing 60. However, on this day when there was no one in front of this guy for a quarter mile, I really didn’t enjoy the drive.

To make matters worse he didn’t have the concept of going at one speed down pat yet. He kept speeding up, slowing down and speeding up again. It was a real distraction. Why can’t some people understand that most of us are running late in the morning and that minimum speed that they should do is what everyone else wants to do. If they don't want to do that speed, then they should move over a lane. I was thinking of passing him on the right, but the people in that lane were going slightly slower then this guy and that was no advantage. After 10 miles, this guy puts on his blinker and starts to move over in the right lane. However, before I had a chance to pass him, he moves back in the fast lane and proceeds to make my morning a living hell. Another five miles, and I was at my exit ready for a new day of work. Unfortunately, I was five minutes late for work. Oh well, at least I was on time once this week : )
