Any tense moments on the road this Memorial Day weekend?.....>>>>>

[Johnny SixPack]

As many of you know, my mom is in the hospital (thanks for all the thoughts and prayers everyone!), so I've been spending a lot of time on the road as of late, and to top is off I took my aunt home yesterday (I'm including locations for anyone familiar with SE Texas). I then spent some time with her, my cousin and his wife for my birthday and ended up leaving her house @ 12:30 am for the 2 hour drive home via Houston. Ok, you don't have to tell me that's a bad idea, but hey, I never claimed to be smrt. So... within 20 mins of leaving her house I run across the first drunk, in West Columbia (Brazoria County). Two guys in an "87 F-150 crossing back and forth over the lines like a monkey playing connect-the-dots. To top off the excitement they almost sideswipe a silver Dodge pickup that tried to pass 'em. They made it to the Buckey's (gas station/food mart), and then just stopped the truck in the middle of the parking lot. Just hadda make it to the beer store I guess. 

Second was a guy doing his best to ignore the two Highway Patrol cars while driving on 288 South. He wasn't even fleeing. At least not via speeding. Maybe he figured if he acted completely normal and drove the speed limit they'd eventually get bored and go away.

Third was the worst. Some jack@$$ who came flying up behind me just as I'm merging onto 610 East. Drunks in front of you are bad, but drunks flying up in your rearview are no good. Off ramp is 45 mph, I'm doing 55 mph, but homie must've been kissing 80 mph as he damn near parks his Chevy pickup in the trunk, then proceeds to begin weaving violently. Luckily he hauls ass off once we make it to the highway just before he decides to just pull into the grass to pass. Another winner off to his final destination. 

Needless to say I was happy to pull into the carport and put my feet on the ground back home in Liberty County at 2:30 am this morning.

Can't wait to do it all again Sunday night. 

How about you guys?

Any high blood pressure moments this weekend?

Last night cruising around in the 69 I see what appears to be a 68-69 Roadrunner. Birght red. NICE looking car.  Turned around to try and follow it and see if I could check it out. He lost me and that was the end of it.  Today as we are testing driving the new Caliber I turn off the highway onto a 2lane black top and theres the red runner sitting on the side of the road. A highway Peetrol has got him pulled over.

Saw a bad one a few days ago, a kid on a crotch rocket was doing wheelies out here on I87 about a mile from the house here. he was showing off in front of this chick in her car. Hed do a wheelie and then slow down and wave to her. After about the third one he went to set the front wheel down and crossed it up and flew off the bike. The girl in her car ran over him along with the guy behind her.

 YIKES!! That's Sobering!...

  Well my story is this,..

Yesterday (Sat.) heading south on 280 in the runner i come upon a clot of approx. 8-10 cars blocking all lanes in an otherwse empty five lane freeway,... 
The nimrod in the fast lane is driving a white Maxima at exactly the same rate of speed as the other cars... i'm folowing along about six car lengths behind... .... ...... ........
Ok,.. two minutes pass, maybe four.... maxima starts tapping the brakes four or five times,... puts on the right turn signal and begins to change lanes directly behind of the car along side and infront of the car following it... then goes another lane over squeaking between two more cars at this point i got on...

why wait for trouble?... lemmings perhaps?...

My prayers are with you 'n your family Johnny!   
stay safe 'n strong!

No problems here, but I have this big urge to put a banana in my breakfast cereal.

That's a Darwin Award right there.
