My view of the world

I was coming into work this morning and in spite of light traffic, the Boulder highway was slow.
I know the phrase “lost tourist” is redundant, but what in the world are they all doing on the road that early.
There was a semi-truck from one of the tire companies, with Colorado plates, that had no idea where he was going, next to him were a couple who were gawking at the sign in front of Arizona Charlie’s and right behind the tourists was a guy with a small pickup truck loaded with what appeared to be lighting fixtures. The little truck was trying to get over to the right, but the tourists were doing about 30 in a 45 and the semi kept hitting his brakes. I was behind this mess trying to figure out what these fools were doing, while traffic kept piling up.
I let the little truck in and he made his turn, the semi finally found the right driveway and the lost tourists were last seen wandering aimlessly in the center lane.
I understand why some people refuse to leave their house.

Do you ever talk to the other drivers? I do, everything from profanity to snide comments about their ability to operate a motor vehicle. It doesn’t make a difference, but sometimes it makes me feel better.
I did have one guy follow me home after I waved and gave him the universal sign for “have a nice day”, a single raised finger. Nothing came of it, but yelling seemed to make him feel better, although getting out of his car didn’t seem to be an option.

We have 5 to 6 thousand people a month moving to Vegas, not to mention the millions of visitors, all trying to use roads that were designed to handle 0ne tenth the traffic.
The strip looks like downtown Manhattan, and the roads crossing the strip are bumper to bumber, but, the worst area is the spagehtti bowl, where the two main freeways cross. This mess was obviously designed by Pinky and not the Brain.

I’m also firmly convinced that in this valley, they now give an IQ test at the DMV and if you fail, they give you a drivers license.

Nothing’s going to decrease the sheer number of cars on the road, road rage is becoming more and more common and idiots will continue to drive like idiots.
That’s life in the big city.
