Well my morning start was a hoot. It started out well then I left to go to work this AM.
When you got off the 408 extension to get on to I-4 the main expressway through Orlando there is an on ramp that says 35MPH, that means that most Orlando folks hit it at oh say 75MPH... When you get on I-4 the speed limit is 50MPH (I don't know why since its an expressway) that means the average Orlando person does 80MPH... Hey its been that way for over 40 years who am I to argue.
Today was special I had a jeep Cherokee being piloted by alas I dare says it (A MAN!!!) doing the average 70MPH in the lane in front of me, well this bright person was talking on a cell phone with one hand, and I swear had a cup of coffee in the other, so I do not even want to know how he was holding on to the steering wheel.
We hit the ramp at 70, then when we get ready to merge onto I-4 this genius turns on his right turn signal, but then jets to left and crosses 4 lanes of eastbound traffic without so much as a look-see to see what's coming... Well one of the things coming was a semi doing about 70MPH, and then you hear brakes and horns, cars and truck going every which way, I just said a few hail Marie's and gunned it to get out of the way... Well I missed the Dodge ram jumping into my lane by 2 or 3 inches... But then this guy was not done yet, he then still with his blinker on decided he was getting off at the next exit so he jumps 3 lanes to the right to get off at the next exit cutting off the remaining few that survived the first encounter.
He got off I-4, but I did see a few ticked off drivers follow him off, so good luck to you Mr. cant drive worth beans. As he got off and I drove by, there he was still on the cell phone and drinking coffee like nothing had happened.
Oh as to the wine making... I had a bag of grapes that I snack on in the morning on my way to work. I usually put the bag between my legs and munch on grapes this morning after all this happened I went to get a grape and I must have squeezed a bit to hard because my grapes were gone and all I had left was a zip-lock bag full of wine.:rollin
Oh and by the by nobody was hurt (well a bag of grapes was killed) and no accidents happened because of this just a lot of mass confusion and lane jumping.
