Lots of craziness I see by your last journal entry! Washington must have enacted those same rules, along with my favorite: "The empty space in front of your car is yours! never, under any circumstances allow someone to either merge in front of you, or pass you - especially if you are in heavy traffic and going under 10 mph!"
you know, as crazy as most people outside of california think the drivers are there, I love driving in Cali. It seems like everyone is a good enough driver that they all know how to drive well and not fuck up. Utah on the other hand, is full of dumbass soccer moms in humongous SUVs that think just because they have 4 wheel drive means they can go 60 in a 35 in the fucking snow. /end rant, damn insomnia
my favorite thing about california drivers is how the speed they drive has no relation whatsoever to the speed limit or the lane they're driving in. some of them drive 35 in the "fast" lane, some of them drive 90 in a 35. it's exciting!
up here in northern maine, the book says "you have the right of way if you want to go faster than the asshole in front of you. therefore, it's perfectly fine to pass him going up a hill and around a curve. just assume no one will be coming the other way. 99% of the time you're right. the other one percent, you can mount the heads of the moose and your pickup truck on the wall next to each other and have a story to tell."
oh yeah, and a whole chapter on avoiding the risk of hitting a moose and instead, strategically tailgating the car in front of you at an approximate distance of two inches while at the same time swerving crazily in both directions as a way of intimidating the other driver to pull over and safely let you pass.
hopefully you will be!!
What's up lina? How's the new home?
