    If'n The OM would have been alive back then, she'd definitely been a Tunnel Rat.

    Drivers needing to change Lanes due to a entitled Richard traveling in a Lane they don't belong creates many dangerous situations as others try to get around Richard

    Ur Safety Record may be good although others may have been inconvenienced while U were achieving it

    Well rare is a 4 wheeler gets out of my way. Sooo... I dont feel an obligation to get out of anyone elses (except trucks, I will move if another truck is wanting to get by). Im usually doing 5-8mph over the limit, it isnt like I am slowing down anyone that is driving legal. If Mario Andretti wants to zip by, me being in the left lane or the center lane isnt going to impede him in any way shape or form. Either way hes just going to be a blur.

    I did actually get passed by a truck yesterday coming back from Tampa.

    Edit: And like I said, he is smaller, faster, accelerates faster, and most important he has better visibility than I do - So if he can see better than I do, which one of us is safer changing lanes? Him or me? (I will give you a hint, the correct answer is him). Im not saying which the book says should, Im saying in real world which is really safer?

    You do you. Drive the way you want. Im not telling YOU what you should do. And after 40+ years on the road, and 25+ sticking to the left lane in cities, you aint going to change me either.

    So last night I open tge sliding door to the water heater closet. I noticed the bottom of the door was flopping in thin air. So upon further inspection i see one of the idiots had taken the little brackets on the floor loose and just left em there on the floor along with the screws. A fair amount of debris was in there too. And the old threshold was in there. So they decided that was good enough. There was a strip of flooring on there that was throwing tge door function off so I removed it. Can't believe they left it like that. IMG_0589.jpeg
