Sorry, Mark, I didn't mean to imply that. I was railing against most drivers in America today.

I try not to exceed speed limits either out of fear of tickets, but sometimes you have to pick up the pace a little or get run over. New Orleans isn't anywhere as congested as larger cities, but the people here barely know how to start the car, let alone drive safely. Even three decades ago, when I went in to the DL bureau office and asked for "study materials" for the driver's license exam, the clown behind the counter peered at me as though I had a rutabaga on my head. "Y' wanna *study* for it?"
