Not directly related but it reminded me of an incident I witnessed today. I'm driving back to Foxboro from Somerset taking 138 (back road through towns). I'm driving the speed limit but an SUV is right on my tail. Then, I see a police cruiser with his blue lights on coming toward me in the opposite lane with 3 or 4 cars ahead of him. So I picked out a place to pull over (even though we're going in opposite directions) to give the cop plenty of room.

Well, not only do no cars pull over on the cop's side of the road to let him by, as I pull to the side on a very narrow shoulder that only allowed me to get about 1/2 my truck of the road, the SUV behind me PASSES me and he and the cop barely miss each other as the cop is passing the cars that refused to pull over on his side of the road.

I was pissed! I looked in my rear view just praying that the cop would flip it around and nail the jerk that passed me. But I guess he had somewhere to be and he just kept going.

IDIOTS!!!

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
