Today started out fine. I tried being at least one gear higher than usual. I am trying my level best (poorly) to be good. One mile into my drive I'd encountered a Lexus 20 MPH below the limit. Into second gear I went and around the Lexus. Now at a reasonable speed I enjoyed my next mile terminating at a stop sign where a Mini Cooper S sat waiting for an opening in traffic. We sat for a minute and when a huge opening presented itself the Cooper never moved even after I tapped my horn. The Lexus caught up finally just as the Cooper went and I followed closely.

The Cooper seemed to have an axe to grind, and was going to show me what dust was like. Although I am familiar with dust, the Mini could not seem to show me any. I tried not to use my brakes at all , but occasionally I'd need them. Kudos. If I was alone I would have been all over the brakes but I wasn't going too fast today.

If all my traffic was as quick, I would be happier than I am these days, but I must admit I did enjoy the drive regardless.
