I have issues. Their is no way around it. I can't explain them so why bother. A lot of what you will read here are issues. Some everyday Seinfeld type issues, other actual politics. I hope to not make any of the issues too serious. It's all fun and games until someone starts typing so hard that the "enter" key flys off! Sit back, relax, and take comfort in the fact that there is someone out here more screwed in the head than you are!

I don't know what percentage of drivers actually stress out over obstacles to their travel plan. Personally, I do curse other asshat drivers as well as traffic engineering in general. For example, if I and a number of cars get a red light and have to stop, in order to allow like ONE car to proceed or some bike rider to cross, I cuss the government fools who fail to design a better system. "Damn red lights!" I will bark, all by my little self in my little car. Then I eventually get where I'm going and everything's fine. So... Today I was driving to work and somehow traffic was pretty light going my direction. In the distance was a pretty large intersection and my light was red. As I approached, my light turned green. I was the only car going my way as far as I could see. But crossing traffic was heavy, and I noticed as I crossed the intersection, about twenty cars stacked up at their red light while I sailed right on through. Then it hit me. I really should be consistent here. Now I'M the one holding up progress. What am I? Special? So I did the proper thing and cussed my own green light. It was the right thing to do. Now I always make a point to cuss all the green lights I am fortunate enough to drive through. True, now I am cussing all lights, both green and red, but I have to be consistent and fair, so as to set a good example for my kids. Makes sense, right?
Turn the entire system over to the crosswalk crossing guard people... They seem to have it down!!!
