See head on top of pencil.

Hmmm. Gaugie, a very nice shrink, that. Quite professional. Tell me. New Guinea highlands, or Borneo? By the mouth stitches looks Borneo. Excellent crosshatch work, New Guinea usually looks a bit ragged.

Hey Gaugs, I've been thinking about driving since your post of the wreck. I've been taught to leave a car length for every 10 mph. Try it now at 50 and you have 5 cut-ins.

I have noticed a tendency to pass on corners now. Turn a corner and get passed in the process. It's nuts. 10 minutes to work? Leave 12 minutes before not 8.

Had a case that almost worked out. I was towing the boat and got off I74 onto a 4 lane. A van was behind me. I had to do a left right after getting on the 4 lane so, with all clear I turned right into the left lane. My Jeep was in the left lane and the boat coming over when the van, without stopping at the sign, tried to pass on the left. Duh, he could have waited 1 second and passed on the right but my boat was worth twice his van so I went to the right lane. I knew I'd get "the look" so I raised a digital signal in my window. Yep, he looked and saw as he was speeding by. When he got in front he got a touch of nuts. He turned and signaled me back with an energetic digital signal. So wildly did he signal that he almost rolled his van. I was hoping. His brake lights flashed and I thought my prayers of straightening his ass out were heard but he took off.
