WTH is with drivers that seem to think the double yellow line is designed for them to drive along!!!! I have had it up to "here" with oncoming traffic hugging the double yellow! Scares the crap out of me!
There are a few other violators out there but lately that is my big beef.
I have lots of rants about drivers on the interstate highways. Why can't people entering the interstate either spped up to get in front of vehicles in the outerr lane or slow down until vehicle in that lane get by? We need to teach people to make decisions without hesitation. why do people drive in the left land slower than the rest of the traffic? The left lane is for passing. If you are in the left lane and are not moving faster than the traffic in the right lane, you are breaking the law and endangering the public. Move over to the right!!!!!

I was a passenger this week on the interstate and I was wondering why my buddy was pushing 80 in a downpour....I'm guessing he doesn't know the term "hydroplaning?"

Rant? Oh yeah.
I helped a buddy on a job in Ardmore, OK and just before I leave I was told there was a restaurant in that town that had autographed guitars by well-known musical artists that had played or passed through the town. I mentioned it and he looked into it and said that the place wasn't "per diem" friendly. I would have paid an extra five bucks for my meal just to go check it out. Do you know how tired I was of hearing him say "per diem?" No, I guess you wouldn't. Trust me.

Oklahoma + Theme Restaurants + "Per Diem" = Bad Mojo. That's a formula I can remember.
I have nothing but bad memories of the time I've spent in Oklahoma. The absolute, uncontested WORST pizza I've ever had in my life, nearly getting into a 2:00 a.m. brawl with some locals in my hotel lobby after commenting that I knew why they called it the "Sooner" state - "The sooner you get the f*** out of it, the better" - And the cherry on top: More rotting, highway-dept-ignored roadkill than any state I've ever driven through, including Florida. It's a Magical Wonderland of Dusty Delights, lemme tell ya...
