Where Did the Summer Go?

The invasion of the vacationers began a day earlier than in previous weeks. Last night on my commute home from work, nothing but NY, NJ, PA and DE plates zooming by or slowing up traffic. This usually occurs on Fridays. A few random gripes/observations:

[1] Hello! It's freakin' rush hour! Although southbound traffic on I-95 generally moves pretty well (at least speed limit or better) through Baltimore, it's still rush hour! I don't know WHY you people. Yes, that's right. YOU. PEOPLE. You people insist on driving like you're playing a video game and you must pass everyone to get extra points. Stop it!

[2] You... Mr. Reading the Map While Whole Family Sleeps. Get out of the left lane if you're lost!!! Wake up the wife and give her the map. 'Cuz you know she's better navigator than you. And tell your kids to get their stinkin' feet off the windows. I'm tired of looking at their dirty soles. It's rude.

[3] Can't you people just go EAST from wherever you live instead of cutting through MY state during rush hour??? I know a bunch of us will be driving through VA to get to our NC destination in a few weeks, but we know where we're going and we don't drive like you jackasses!

[4] I know where all the speed traps are, so that's why I'm not driving 20 mph over the speed limit like you want me to. And besides, get in the freakin' left lane if you want to pass me! Oh, that's right... Mr. Map Reader is there. Snakes on a plane.

Enough vacationer traffic rant... weekend should be fun. Friday Night Dinner with the P's tonight, party tomorrow night and possible Chris Isaak concert on Sunday night, if William got tickets.

Speaking of William, he's evicting my stuff from his basement, so John and I are going to the estates Saturday morning to move it. It's only been two years... The futon has been given amnesty for the time being.

Happy Friday and hope everyone has a great weekend!
