Mt Tam I am

I had a car load of groceries and was on my way home when a kid with his fathers* 911, approaches me and asks about my car. I asked him about his 996, and he corrected me that it was a 911. A few more exchanges about cars and he asks me to race him up the mountain where he has seen me driving. Holy Toledo, this is my daily commute. I tell him no thanks and he becomes less polite and makes a few more comments designed to get my goat.

I leave Safeway and head home. the kid follows me, antagonizes me at the light, gets ahead of me and drives off at a speed I would normally drive but I do not want this kid near me so I pull over for about a minute, so he can get away and I figure I am done with him.

I already forgot about him and just cruised home. I could see through the trees that slower cars were ahead. I knew I might get to pass these cars if I got to the passing point up ahead of them.

I timed it perfectly and passed three cars including the 911. I did not know he was in the group until after I'd made my move. I was not racing and had the police been there I'd have done the same.

I was rewarded with an open road all the way home. The groceries survived although they did get loose a bit.



* I assume this due to age and ignorance.
