Regarding Mom (or Dad) being right, here's one from the ages:
... "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."
.... Mark Twain, in Bringing Up Father

Its pretty odd driving around, the way people act in their cars. On one hand there are people that are hyper aggressive and will pass you so they can hurry up and get to a red light when your downshifting so you won't have to stop and everything goes smoother. On the other hand, when it snows, people tend to get into a pack mentality that actually makes it more dangerous. People stick to groups, drop the speed, and bottleneck, probably some adaptive response. I try to ignore all of it, theres no need getting my stress level up due to transportation, just flip on the radio and lean back.

God, I wish I were as centered as you. I just look at it like Im literally wasting my life away behind people that are not paying attention. I bet in a lifetime, you waste almost a year just waiting behind people dilly dallying. I guess I have some growing up to do  |
