Island Girl - Take heed in knowing that you live there and those bozos are just visiting. You get to see and live every day what those vacationers are paying top dollar for. In a few months they will all be gone and the place will be all your again. Life is once.....

Summer Traffic...ahh yes welcome to my world! I'm a truck driver so I know summer traffic all too well. It blows my mind at the amount of imbilciles who think they can yap on the phone and drive, or the jack@ssery of jumping from their lane in front of me because of the amount of space (falsely thinking that my lane is moving faster). Each year it gets worse and worse. The plus side of sitting in traffic, is that sitting up so high you get to look down, and get pretty good leg shots in the summer  |

You really have to give the benefit of a doubt, you know. That's the way I drive when I'm in uncharted territory. Also, over the years I've noticed that different areas have different quirks in traffic etiquette. Around here folks jump on the brakes and wave someone at a stopsign out. You nearly rear end them if you're not ready. Other places fling the door open into traffic, expecting the driver to watch for them. Now, if you mix your quirk with a foreign quirk, you're just asking for trouble. And it annoys the locals...

Went home to Coventy RI by the front way (Rt. 1 Tower Hill Rd.) for the last time until maybe October. The traffic at the Tower is legendary.
