The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsHighway Mayhem A Trucker's Delight
I know this can't be said for all truckers because I have a kind, decent hearted relative who is one, but what is with the attitude of some truck drivers on the highway?
I have seen them tailgate little cars in a way that if the car stopped suddenly, it would be smucked along with everyone inside. Truckers can't be that heartless to want that to happen, can they?
I have also been the passenger in a Bronco that almost got its rear end tagged by a truck as it blew around and past us. There was no reason for it; we were speeding as it was, so it's not like we were driving slowly to annoy the trucker.
Here's another one, when they have a pile of cars behind them on a steep hill and they are behind another semi-truck, they decide to pull out and pass the slower rig, which slows the whole pile of cars behind them down to 40-50 kilometres in a 90 kilometre zone. Arg!
And can't forget them veering into our lane frequently, which makes us slam on our brakes. How difficult is it to stay between the lines on the road. If you're that lazy of a driver, you shouldn't be driving.
Oh, and that last one applies to city drivers too. You know when you are lazy behind the wheel and let your car go all over the road, you piss people off. Did you know that? Well, you do. You piss people off.

I have a few trucker friends also Samantha and I don't think they drive like that,or at least hope they don't, but I know exactly what you mean. Driving the 25 mile stretch of I-10 from here to Houston is akin to putting your life in their hands.

Ah gotcha. Privates are cool.

Meaning that part of your list of links is visible only to you? Okay, but why not use a bookmark file?

Samantha and I use 5 different machines at times. We view the website all the time, so it's the best way for us to keep blog related entries together accessible from any machine.
