Right of Way

If I were the boss of the world I would (among other things) require an annual mandatory refresher course on the proper way to conduct oneself at a four-way stop. Does nobody know what RIGHT OF WAY means? And I would make quarterly written exams mandatory for blatant repeat offenders. Yes, that means you, oh older, more mature, definitely wiser, bejewelled-fingered, cell phone talking, working professional urbanite in the Infinity SUV, looking perplexed and waving me on so helpfully when IT ISN'T MY GO!

And yes, if you happen to read lips, you heard me right.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

I'm sure that not many people can read lips, but I have a feeling that most can read hand signals, which I have been "handing" out (get it?) like it was going out of style since I've been in Denver. Take note: Colorado drivers are awful!

I left some "goodie" at Becky's for you! :)

HAHA! I find four way stops so incredibly annoying. The only thing worse is round-abouts.
