    And now you've learned your lesson, stay out of the Communist Republic of Michigan in a truck.

    Society is so divided it’s sad. But powers that be like it that way. Divide and conquer.
    With that sad other than saying hello or being polite holding a door or something. I
    Go days without speaking to anyone other than wife and friends. I don’t look at fellow drivers, wave or nothing. Don’t even say a #### thing on the CB. I listen but don’t talk anymore. Most don’t have a radio anyway.
    Kind of sad really. But most are just waiting for something or someone to lite the fuse

    Ridiculous....people need to chill out and play the tape through in their minds. What's the desired outcome in a scenario like that?

    I am just like you. I have kept a fresh can of wasp spray next to the seat for the last 5 years. Just a few months after putting it there I was in Maryland on my way into Virginia and got cut off by a FedEx contractor and he was mad at me for some reason. He stopped in the lane and got out and came to my truck door and tried to open it. I blasted him right in the face with the foam and put a stop to the situation.
