Cracker Jack Box or DMV?...You be the Judge!

What is with people these days?!!!!

My wife and I went up to the mountains this weekend to a small town just for the fun of it. While we did enjoy ourselves immensely, there were a few things that happened during the ride there and the ride back that makes me question if some people should be driving or not.

On the way there, we got stuck behind some guy driving a big dual wheel truck. The speed limit is between 40 and 50 miles an hour on the winding mountain road heading up. There are are no passing lanes, but there are several opportunities to hit a turn out in order to get off to the side of the road. This guy averaged 20-30 miles an hour all the way up and he refused to pull off at a turn out to let those behind him pass. Did he fail that part of the DMV test or what?! Most likely, he reached into a cracker jack box and said "look honey, my prize is a driver's liscense!". If I had a bigger truck, I would have pushed him off to the side so that the rest of us could have passed him!

As we got ready to leave and head back down to our house, we ecountered a few people that should be removed from the gene pool. The first two people decided to drag race on their speed bikes right in front of a cop!! Hehe, that went well! The next guy decided that 15 mph around a hairpin turn meant 2 mph! The third was a guy in a motor home who decided that instead of using a turn out to get out of the way, he would pull over in the next town....5 miles a way!!! I could have walked their faster!!!

Despite all of that, their was one moment which I thoroughly applauded. It seems that their were some Harley riders up their for the day having a good time walking around town and enjoying the day. When they went to leave, they started up their bikes and set off the car alarm on a nissan altima that was parked next to them!! I was dying!! That's friggin hilarious!!!
