The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXIII

Friday going home there was a tractor trailer on its side (failed to negotiate the turn onto a ramp) and someone disabled in the middle lane (rear ended the car ahead so hard that the radiator was leaking everywhere).

I like my job, and utterly hate the commute.

I set the cruise on the rental car at 55, and damn near got run over by tractor-trailers....

I bumped it to 65 and called it good...

I figured that if I got stopped, I could use the excuse that a)I was from out of state, b) more people passed me than I passed or c) I'm a retired Marine

You'd be amazed at the number of times c) has got me out of tickets...
