Okay, that was a horrible movie reference, but eh...

I went to get Starbucks for lunch (my usual iced chai, light on the ice) and on the way back, I got stuck by a train on the train tracks. Eh, big deal...train...but I sat there for about 5 minutes watching army trucks/cars/hummers/etc. roll by on this train and I gradually saw the train going slower and slower...and finally, it stops, right on the tracks, in the middle of the road with only 2 boxcar/trailers left. What the hell? It couldn't have pulled up a little more and then stopped so the cars could go through? Sat there for another 5 minutes just staring at the train that wasn't moving while we just sat there and waited...and waited...AND WAITED...saw tons of cars turning around in my rear view mirror because I guess patience escapes these people. THEN...the train moves and I can be on my merry way.

Well, I pull up to the light that's just around the corner and it was red, so I stopped...and there's a horse pasture right across the street. I was watching the horse run around the pen (because usually, the horses are just standing there but this time, he was running all over) because I thought it looked interesting and then I saw a p-dog on the ground sniffing around...so I watched that. I guess the light just turned green and I didn't go fast enough because this bitch in this red mustang behind me decided to blast her horn at me. EXCUSE ME...I guess sitting behind the train was too much for her because sitting behind me for 2 seconds after the light turned green was just too much. I felt like extending my middle finger to her and letting her know what I really though...

Ugh...road rage. I kept it to myself only to talk about it later in my ramblings. I seriously think people are in too much of a hurry these days. Why can't people just calm down, take a deep breath, and enjoy the time that they have versus rushing around trying to get everything done in 2 seconds and speeding past people because they're in such a hurry. I wonder if they're in a hurry in their real lives or are they those people that take their time and never clean up or get anything done at home?

Reminds me of all those people we had out here about a year ago...I'm sure if you were all paying attention, we had the guy that decided he didn't want to sit in traffic on the freeway, so he manufactured a "passenger" out of a department store dummy and put it in his passenger seat so he could ride in the carpool lane. Granted, he got busted...had to stand on an overpass and tell people not to be a "dummy" and drive in the carpool lane...OR, the guy who didn't want to wait at red lights, so he drove through Longmont every day with one of the IR flasher thingies that the police use to change the lights...he got in trouble too. OR, the countless times I see people driving in reverse down freeway onramps because of the traffic on the freeway they're getting onto...or driving up the median or over the grassy parts on the shoulder to get to the frontage road to avoid traffic.

IMPATIENCE!!!!

Patience is a horrible thing to have. Impatience is the true virtue.

Those people who are impatient never will get what they want... And.. they will never get a bite when they go fishing( doubt they ever will go fishing)

I'm not a very patient person :) I never have been, but I do know how to restrain it when I need to. . . as much as it may hurt me. :P
