Just what do I have to do...

I've tried blogging it out, shouting it out, stomping it out, yet my message to the world that the west frontage road by Walmart is a 40 mph zone is not reaching the right audience. The over 70 crowd who persist in traveling at a snail speed of 25 mph no matter how many speed limit signs they pass proclaiming FORTY MILES AN HOUR. That is FOUR ZERO. FORTY! Today, on my way to work, an old man pulled out in front of me from Walmart (like that surprises you) and right there - 200 yards from him hitting the road is the first sign of three along his journey - 40 mph. Yet does he speed up? Does he heed this advice? Does he even TRY to hurry it along? NO NO NO! Man I'm getting tired of this. If you are going to pull out in front of me please try to at least pretend you are going to drive like a real person because really one of these days I'm going to start using my horn and in this nice growing community horn honking is considered rude - but I'm not above it - seriously!

Oh and one other bit of news. I have created a convert. Amy has sworn to never again (translate - not for a really long time) visit Walmart due to recent unpleasant events which occurred at this establishment - not the least of which was the huge train of carts blocking her departure from the parking lot leading to her having to GO INTO THE STORE to ask someone to MOVE THE DAMN CARTS. At least someone is listening to me - now if I could only get those elderly patrons to turn up their hearing aids and put their foot on the gas!

TTFN...
