While driving to work this morning on I-287, something happened to me that happens much too often for my temper. I was cruising along in the fast lane at XX miles per hour, preparing to pass these two cars going XX-10 miles per hour. When I had approached almost next to the rear car, the cretin pulled out to pass the front car at XX-5 MPH. This he could have done at any point in the minute during which I was approaching these two, but he waited until I would be forced to hit my brakes. Once past the front car, I finally had to pass the cretin on the right. Any ideas on how to handle these incompetants? JCA PS I was not speeding at the time, although it would not have been impossible. -- She dreams of 1969 Before the soldiers came When life was cheap on bread and wine And sharing meant no shame She is awakened by the screams Of rockets fired from nearby Yet still she wakes into a dream To beat the fear that she might die.
