    Same reason I'll give dog food to the homeless more often than I give food or money? I just don't have a particular affinity for most people.

    Has anyone else noticed an elevated level of stupidity lately?

    Example 1: coming over cabbage yesterday get to the work zone and everybody slows down (work zone is right after the summit for WB, then EB and WB are on the same pavement). The zone is 50 and down hill everybody around me (me included) just let off the go pedal and let things start slowing down with some brake assistance. Then I see up ahead OSP,check speed ok I'm little hot at 55, he pulls out behind me and paces me for over a mile, then rolls the lights (we are still 2 way traffic on WB side of 84). So I say GREAT state of Oregon wants to say hello, and move over as far as I can then he passes me I'm still half in the lane!! Pickup in front of me he did the same.....But on the bridge. All this accident causing chaos to get to an Arlo G. Lott truck, that he could have pulled over a 1/4 down the road and construction is over with.

    So now today, a lot of you know I live in an RV park, I'm working on the AC hear a big crunch and look over a guy with a 40' 5th wheel hit a tree (obviously doesn't know what those big shiny things are for) before I could get there to try and help fix stupid he backs up about 3' and tries again. After HE HITS THE TREE 3 TIMES he has kid get out to spot......last words I heard, take guess.....DONT LET ME HIT ANYTHING!!!

    Then he calls the owner to report damage??
    I have taken a 52' trailer around the same tree and never touched it.
    This is exactly why RV SHOULD BE A LICENSE CLASS.

    Sorry for the book, Rant over

    I can’t believe how many maskerbators are still running around, despite the Emir of Analpolis lifting the mandate about 2 weeks ago.

    I was in 2 Walmarts, a Dick’s Sporting Goods, and a Target today and didn’t wear a face diaper in any of them. I was one out of a total of about 6 people I saw not wearing a mask.

    That's because the maskerbators were easy to train.

    How do you know it was about the masks?
    Might have been the hat or the mimosa.
