The new train cars( mybe 60 or so) are being integrated slowly it seems...on the green line. I am happy we havent had any total back up days for a long time. I could drive my way to work in 15 minutes everyone..but it takes me only an hour this way Make sense! Hang in there Lady Z and hopefully we will have enough will power not to get upset with the rage. ------------------ *\Conan/* |

LadyZ: Not that it's necessarily AS bad as where you live (I know it's worse in places here), but just so you'll know. It's getting bad everywhere. My story was only ONE of the worst that has happened. Even in the "little town" of Newnan, GA - 30 or so miles away from Atlanta - there are crazies all over here. They cut me off and then cuss ME out, they try to run me off the road, one guy even got out of his truck and started walking back to our car! (Fortunately on that one, my husband worked for the County Corrections Facility and flashed his badge - the guy IMMEDIATELY got back in his truck AND buckled up!! heeheehee My husband had NO powers of arrest, but that badge was enough to make him back off! Then, I pretended to get on my cell phone (because we were both still going the same way and he kept looking in his rear view mirror) - at the next light, he PULLED OVER!!! OMG! I thought I'd die! He watched us go past and he must have been SO mad! He apparently thought we were calling him in to "headquarters" and going to pull him over plain clothes-style!)
Larry, I too used to get revenge (in exactly the same way). I try not to give in to it anymore because this road rage thing is getting to be way too scary, but it does feel good when you pace someone long enough to really tick off an obnoxious driver! (bad DM. bad, bad DM - must 'pank!) ------------------ "Allright! We'll call it a draw." "I'm INVINCIBLE! ... You're a LOONEY!" Dare to dream. Be bold enough to try.

I can't believe he didn't get off on account of his "mental illness". That seems to be the way things work these days.

Phew. Makes me glad I live in Germany, in a city where the majority of the population bikes . And anyone trying to get to the inner city by car is in for an hour-long search for a parking space (there aren't too many ) as well as getting lost in a maze of one-way streets and pedestrian zones. Road rage isn't really common in Germany, I think.
And - 1050 years in prison - sheesh! Why not just give him lifelong and be done with it? ------------------ Kazara Waitress at Cloudy's Cafe |

I think the reason the prison sentence is so long is so there's no chance that the rotter will have any chance of parole (getting out early). I don't know how it is in Germany, Kaz, but over here, 10 years = 6 months with good behavior sometimes. It's a sorry state of affairs.

then (1000 years = 600 months) + (50 years = 30 months)... erm that'd be... 630 months... 52.5 years. OK, that makes sense.
