Now I remember...

...why I didn't pre-order Harry Potter for us; I could still be waiting for my $17.99 plus shipping ($21.98 total) copy from amazon and I'm already back from my "normal" Costco run with a copy for $15.99 (plus tax) Works for me but I still have a book to finish before I can start Harry.

We had quite an eventful ride home last night from CT. We missed the majority of bottle-neck traffic but there did seem to be an abundance of left lane cruisers. Now, I have mentioned before how irritating I find these drivers but it's only when they refuse to move over for faster cars and worse yet keep pace with cars in the right lane so a whole pile of people are piling up behind. Sooooo right around the MA/VT border we come up behind a pick-up truck who is behind a VW Jetta. The Jetta doesn't seem to be aware enough of the truck so when the truck finally gets an opportunity to pull right of the VW, he goes for it AND THEN flies into Road Rage! I've never seen anything like it...the truck guy pulled along side the Jetta and with crude finger gestures and apparent shouting with his head out the window he keeps pace with the Jetta.
Meanwhile, I'm behind the Jetta (still in the left lane)wondering what to do next. THEN the truck guy pulled left right in front of the Jetta and slowed way down forcing the Jetta and me and all the vehicles around us to slow way down because besides their speed, we didn't want to be anywhere near them. The truck guy was still gesturing and it appeared as though he really wanted the jetta guy to pull over for "a little chat". Yeah right, like anyone in their right mind would do THAT! Finally the truck guy picked up speed and pulled ahead..the Jetta stayed in the left lane so I picked up the pace for all and went right around him but NOT catching up with the truck right away. A few others and I finally did pass the truck but then a little while later he went flying by me and when I went to pass the car in front of me and was behind the truck he slowed way down in fron tof me. Nope, I wasn't going to play his game. We decided it was dinner time so we got off in Putney and got ourselves some Curtis's BBQ Now I've heard about Curtis for about 30 years, but I had never had an opportunity to have a taste before. It was very good but I also have to say it didn't agree with my stomache at all and I managed to lose it all after we got home. ( Barf...Aren't you pleased I shared that with you?) I think my system with lower than normal fat intake of late just couldn't handle the onslaught of great fat! Sigh....

Moving right along...off to finish a book and have a snack. have a great weekend all.
