So as I'm driving home(to B'ham) today it never fails that some idiot does something to piss me off on my drive. And it always seems to happen when I'm coming up on Alex City. (Wonder Why?) Anyways, as I'm coming across the bridge and up the hill pass the Tallapoosa River some idiot waits till I get about 30 yards from him and he decides that he wants to cross 280. WTH? The kicker is that he wasn't trying to doing do it quickly. he He strolled his ass out there like he was taking a Sunday afternoon walk. Despite me riding my horn and visibly showing my displeasure with is decision to try cross then. To make matters worst worse, the wonderful driving driver speeding up on the side of me, doing 'bout 85 or so, swerve swerved to avoid the idiot who was crossing 280 and damn near took me out. Glad he was riding his horn as well otherwise I wouldn't have been alerted to swerve to the right to avoid being hit.

Now other than that the drive home was rather pleasant. Well except for the idiot (with a Tallapoosa County tag - 62) that stopped at the freakin green light at the bottom of the hill(mountain) right before you get to Greystone. Again, WTH? At least by that time I was laughing at something on Foxxhole. (Jamie Foxx's channel on Sirius)

Now the drive back to Auburn was rather uneventful, except the cop headed west right outside of Chelsea flashing his lights(and making me curse) in an effort to get me and the car next to me to slow down. (We were only doing 65, which is what the speed limit was about 100 yards up the road). Besides that it was nice and peaceful. My deer sighting count got up to seven, with numbers five and six being a little too close to the side of the road for me. All I know is that if I were a hunter I'd camp out between Dadeville and Auburn, because that's where I saw five of the seven deer.

NOTE: Since I obviously didn't proof my post early I've went back and made correction on the page. So the words that are crossed out are wrong and the italics are the corrections. I guess I do have more than two people reading my blog. grin
