this is exactly the problem I see with all states that have that law to include my own.

I like the tales and the style, sir!

Never did San Fran, but did do San Diego for a month. It was either 20 on the highway due to traffic jams, or you better be doing at least 80 to not get rear ended. Good times.

LOVED SD despite the shitty traffic. Too pricey, and I love my guns, but man the weather and area in general was gorgeous.

BTW, serious props to the guy in the red car for keeping his head on a swivel, and the truck driver that practiced some solid defensive driving.

I accept you mason jar apologies.

Now that you mentioned drinks... I started thinking about food. Now I am suddenly angered by the high price of crawfish and low availability of oysters. Dang... now I want scallops. I cannot tell you how good a huge sea scallop [literally right off the boat] tastes just smattered…

Now the snowbirds... well the snowbirds be damned. You could tell when they were coming along that stretch of 95 through Jacksonville. Christ. It was like every RV on the road was some white-haired clown from Cape Cod that had no hope of passing an eye exam, much less a driving test.

But nevertheless, here they…

I regret to inform you that I'm not a "Damned Yankee."

I do believe I was upgraded to "Gawd Damned Yankee" upon marrying a perfectly good (and well-out-of-my-league) southern belle.

I'll have you address me by my proper title, sir. Thank you and good day.

I was a delivery driver in Boston... well, mostly the Cambridge and Brookline. Was driving Frieghliners (Box with 17500 GVW) and E150s back then.

Admittedly I was going to make some "That's some shitty passing" type joke, then ask if one of the drivers was Russell Wilson.

/ Yeah, I didn't have much... it's why I kept it on the inside.
// Well... until now... dang it!

Never made it much past Jacksonville...
... and yeah.

Hahahaha!

Good luck out there. Stay safe!

My experience is anecdotal, admittedly.

You see, I only have about >850,000 miles [commercial driver for a bit] under my belt and lived/drove in MA, RI, NY, NH, VT, PA, VA, FL, MS, AL, SC, TX, and CA for prolonged periods of time (the rest were just brief visits).

Southerners are nice. They aren't annoying or brutally…

One out of 20 people slow down TWICE for the same cop here.

105% is totally justifiable, haha!

Story time!

We had ice here a few years ago (Jackson MS). I'm driving 4000 lbs of Detroit cast iron at about 10 mph below the rest of the nitwits (old arse Ram1500). I'm treating the brakes and gas like there is an egg…

Nailed it.

Welcome to fricken 70% of America and 105% of the FRICKEN SOUTH.

Ha! Well played.

The F16 was the bird that got me interested in aviation. It was the first flight sim I ever played (on the Amiga no less). And those conformal tanks just add shoulders to an already sexy aircraft.

THIS.

My theory, much like yours, is that eventually (while drones are the military's new sexy beast), that interconnected warfare will go from our greatest strength to greatest weakness. I think eventually jamming abilities or even hacking abilities will become so prevalent and effective that... we will actually have…

What is this Foxtrot Alpha? Oooooooooooooh. That's right!

/reading is hard, guyz!
// Pewpews lead to QQ's!
///I really wanted to read more about Miatas!

But seriously, Miatas. Fun cars.

Maybe if they weren't teaching abstinence-only in most of these godforsaken areas (that I have lived in and do live in) as well as placing idiotic social taboos on BC and condoms... we WOULDN'T have such a dang problem.

You know, that and actually having good parental guidance. Which trust me, can be damned hard to…

True story.
