Sins of The Open Road

I can’t believe I saw it.
I still can’t believe it.
I was driving up Route 3 tonight on the way to town for the alumni dinner and I SAW A WOMAN READING WHILE DRIVING.
She wasn’t just looking in a book, she was reading a book. She read and drove for several miles, swerving occasionally. She barely glanced up when I honked at her.
I called the State Police and reported her plate number. She was driving a white Toyota and had a bumper sticker that said, “CRONE.”
She should have had a bumper sticker that said, “TREACHEROUS IDIOT.”
I only hope and pray that they pulled her over before she hurt someone.

Hang up the bloody phone (what do you have to talk about at 7:30 in the morning!!) and get your lazy rear end out of bed early enough to prepare yourself for the day.

I think I even saw her with her eyelash curler once. I’m all for time management, but that’s just insane. Get up five minutes earlier and make the road a more pleasant and SAFE place.

my cousins and i were once crammed into the cab of a tiny pickup zooming around the freeways of LA. when the traffic slowed to a crawl, my UNCLE pulled out one of those mini-TVs and was watching some dadgum Laker game. i completely freaked out. and if we hadn’t been 6 lanes away from either shoulder, i would’ve…
