Went out for lunch today...

And almost got run over by a super duper Obama supporter. This person had a HUGE Obama campaign sized cardboard or heavier sign strapped on to his car. I know it wasn't Obama because it was an old Volvo and there's no way secret service would let him ride around in that.

To give you a little perspective on what we're dealing with here's a little diagram...sorry my Microsoft Paint Skills are not as good as my Math skills (which are sweeeeet, btw) so I won't quit my day job:

So I'm sitting in the driveway at my office, waiting to get onto 43 (right where it ends) and I'm waiting for the light to change, so I can get on the highway. Then out of no where, this crazy old Volvo with (what I originally thought was a refrigerator) something on top comes flying through a red light.

Naturally, I let it go, then hop right out after it. It stays ahead of me in my lane...By now, I'm yelling at it (work has fueled my PMS today) for going slow. It somewhat senses my frustration and swerves to change lanes...or so I thought. It does this swervy bit two or three times (before nearly crashing into the center divider). Apparently it can't decide whether it wants to go downtown or to Lake O?

So, it makes one last power play for my lane, swerves (I swear to goodness, I thought it would tip over) and does the swervy bit in the next set of two lanes...

Then, in what I can only assume was a rash decision, turned to head up to the Ross Island Bridge. I watched it in my rear view mirror swerve and nearly take out a truck twice the size of the Volvo. I'm like screaming "WHAT THE HECK!!?!?!?!" as I watch.

I'll leave you with this: the plates were from California. You can make what you want out of that.

I made it safely to Zupans with much trouble after that, but on my way back to work I see the one thing missing from the entire charade: A Cop.
