It seems like every day, no matter where I am, is morons’ day out; I cannot escape them. I think I’ve been cut off at the same intersection about three times this week- I’ll admit, there is some road construction going on right now--and I’m sure that as soon as they finish repaving and widening, they are going to tear it up for a new water pipe or something, that way the road…
