    Boy, today is not a good day. Here's why I say this, and please, if anyone is easily offended, tough. I use to have a bad taste in my mouth about that bunch driving the white Volvos out of Elk Grove Village Illinois. Don't get me wrong, I still do, but now, that group out of Bakersfield Ca, the ones that wear that tall thing on their head, and the two I saw washing their feet in the sink at the Loves in Williams Az, when all I wanted to do this morning was brush my teath, are really making me count the days down to retirement.

    Add to that the blantant disregard about safety, the lack of any courtesy, and the fact that I, after all these years, have to share the road with these people. I've always heard the phrase "have tolerance" when it concerns MY safety, I have none. When their lack of concern for the motoring public is compromised, then that becomes a big issue for me. All I can say is this, hurry up Feb.13, 2020.

    I had one in my driving school that barely spoke English and the instructor sometimes yelled at him because of what he was doing on the road. Was my group partner and the other three got to go off with another instructor. It was tough having to concentrate on myself and answering his questions but hey I was nice enough.

    Heck I became not only a CDL driver that month but a trainer too. :p

    Only in an event. Make sure you hit the red button on the dash to save it.
