An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Arrival of the Fittest
My opinion of the drivers in Arkansas has not changed! Good heavens! Yes, I am aware, there are people from other states driving through, but all the horrible ones have Arkansas tags.
I have come to the conclusion the entire state needs 3 lanes. Far right for the pokiest, those who can’t get above 40mph! Middle lane for folks who can read….like “Speed Limit 70″! And the far left for people who don’t think there is any limit whatsoever for them. You know the ones….they insist their vehicles can do Mach 10, and try to prove it! Unfortunately, most of the time, there were only 2 lanes, and neither of them could do the speed limit. What was with all the slamming on the brakes? And I do mean slamming. I came very close to becoming a pancake. Not because I was tailgating….I don’t…but because the yahoos in front of me don’t know what that peddle on the right is for, AND a tailgating yahoo behind me.
Now, one thing that causes to the congestion would be the different speed limits for cars and trucks. If a truck can only do a max of 65, that will slow down everyone else, and no one can get around ‘em. And ya know….having State Troopers turning on their lights, slowing down, acting like damn fools, is quite dangerous. Where do they train these guys?
Oh, and I’d really like to know who decided it was a good idea to have XXX Adult Superstores at every exit between Memphis and Little Rock.
Luckily, we made in one piece to the motel, tired, cranky and hungry. I broke one of my own rules and went to McDonald’s. It was close….like right next door. The kid is so bloomin’ picky about what she will eat, I didn’t feel like arguing about where, or what. I’m all about easy tonight.
Now, I’m having internet issues. I think I’ll just turn this contraption off, finish watching Santa Clause 2 with the rug rat, and sleep!
Good grief!!! McDonalds? Yuck!! And as far as the driving is concerned, do you not remember what driving in Wisconsin is like???
completely off topic, but did you see this?

The XXX stores by the highway are because people won’t let them be built in the city limits.
Illinois drivers failed to kill me yesterday, but not for lack of trying. *shakes fist*
@John & Perla:
Yeah….I was really surprised he was leaving. One of the few tolerable libs….for about 15 minutes….on the idjit box. I’ve figured out why the far left is so bitter and angry, and I’m fairly sure you have too. LOL It would be real nice if THEY would figure it out.
@HeatherRadish:
I wonder if those things popped up while Huckabee was guv….or …..
Hey, you need to get a helicopter if you REALLY have to be in Chicago. Heh.
@Chris
WI drivers are a WHOLE lot better than AR….that tell ya how BAD they are? Heh.
