Never Honk at an Elderly Person

They can get pretty pissy. Initially, the video was supposed to be of some skateboarders, but then the noise begins...

Did you see the airbag inflate and the look on the driver's face? Priceless!

With the season about to begin here in a week, traffic is already becoming nightmarish and dangerous. There were two accidents within a mile of each other yesterday morning as I drove to work. One was beer truck a rear-ended by a Hummer. The second happened at a very busy intersection on the main Coastal Highway involving three cars and a van. It occurred just minutes before because the state troopers were just beginning to take control of traffic in the northbound lanes and a chopper was getting ready to land. Not a good sign, that. Means someone needs immediate medical care.

And this all happened on a Thursday morning before 7 am. I can't wait to get myself off the road next weekend as the season arrives and the tourists make driving a contact sport.

More later.

  1. Ah yes, to be at the beach on Memorial day weekend. I remember it well.
    It was more fun for us visiting than those living there year round.
    Aside from that, enjoy the warm weather and the sound and smell of the ocean.

  3. Is that sign still on Rehoboth Avenue that says "Slow down and relax, you're at the beach"?

    I am SOOOOOO glad that I work in Lewes and can get there by New Road instead of Bumper Car Heaven on Rt. 1.

    Don't you sometimes feel like it's just a matter of time before your number is up and one of those numbskulls will crash into you?

    Please be careful. Bite your tongue and keep all fingers on the wheel, including the middle one.
