To Whom it May Concern :

People, seriously.....LEARN....HOW....TO....DRIVE !!!! Period. Please. It isn't that difficult. I swear. We live in the Evergreen State. E-V-E-R-G-R-E-E-N State. It isn't called that because we spray paint the trees and grass that color. We are called that, because it rains 9 months out the year. Rain isn't an oddity here. It's nothing new. But for whatever reason when it rains, y'all can't drive !!! You act as if the sky is falling and completely go mental !!! You no longer having ANY skill at driving. You stare at the sky in confusion and fear, trying to figure out exactly what is happening. It is RAIN !! We live in the Pacific NW, that's what it does here. It RAINS !!! I could maybe see wanting to go slow if it was the first rain, as the roads are generally slick. But this isn't the first rain. It has been raining for the past week. It hasn't stopped. I could even see wanting to drive slow if....IF there was an inch or 2 of standing water on the road. Which there isn't. You know why ? Because the Washington Department of Transportation Engineers knew how to bank the roads properly for drainage. So that means there isn't a lot of water on the road. It also means that you can drive normal speeds. If you want to ere on the side of caution, then by all means put some distance between you and the car ahead of you. This doesn't mean that you must put 5 car lenghts between you. If you are doing this, you shouldn't be driving. IF you are doing this because you brakes need to be replaced. You shouldn't be driving. Which brings me to another point. Turn signals and there functionality. They are, hang in there with me. For SIGNALING WHICH DIRECTION YOU ARE WANTING TO TURN OR WHICH LANE YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE. Really a fair simple feature. By using this feature on your vehicle it will allow YOU to NOT YELL at me for not letting you pull in front of me. As I am NOT a mind reader. I do not WANT to read your mind for fear of BOREDOM !!! I know how to USE my turn signals. I turn them on when I want to switch lanes. When one is signaling for a lane change this isn't a green flag for you to punch it and lay on the horn, screaming obscenities at me for your coming to the conclusion that I have just you off. If you feel the need to do this, again you shouldn't drive.

Now that I have ranted and raved, which was SO not what I was wanting to post today, I must give much love, props and shout outs to my cosmic twin for sharing me with her blogging friends and inviting them to come one over !!!!

You are the bestest Amy !!!!!
