Dipstick....
The Scene: Howard Ave in New Haven CT
The Traffic Scene: Approaching intersection. Car facing me in other lane waiting to make turn into side street. Half a block in front of me traffic light is red and I would barely make it off crosswalk past the intersection if I continued. I choose to stop and let waiting car make his turn in front of me
The Dipstick: Pickup Truck behind me decides to pass me on the right and nearly collides with turning car.
Oh yeah he gets to the end of the line of stopped cars with his tailgate sticking over the crosswalk lines and waits for the light to turn green before me. Of course, being from California, he is probably used to Road Rage and he won't look at me in his rear view mirror to see me yelling at him! Actually it was very obvious he was looking every where BUT at me and I really wasn't angry, I was struck with how inconsiderate and arrogant and oblivious he really was and I really really wanted him to know it. I guess he did. Geesh.
Apparently the stability of Internet access at this hotel really hasn't changed much in the last year...when we stopped using it because the Internet access was totally unreliable. kept choking last night while trying to get email. It was basically non functioning. We had a little chat with the Manager of this establishment this morning....I'm not sure he really gets it but he tells us they are working on getting a new vendor for their Internet access. Guess we'll check to see if the move has been made before we check in here again. The second choice hotel is 17 miles away and the commute will be at a time when I've noticed clogged highway traffic in the direction we'd be going. Not ideal either and maybe we'd have to find the non-interstate route if we decided to stay there. sigh.
Moving right along...it's a beautiful day with bright sunshine and great temperatures. I'm going to enjoy the day out there!
Home you have great weather where you are too! (Psst Seattlites...gear up that good weather, we'll be back on Sunday! No rain, Please.)
