The incredible velocity of passing time has overtaken me again. A steady stream of remodeling, work, visitors, little league football and more remodeling left me with little opportunity for posts.
With that in mind and with the lateness of the hour I will post only this:
People of Kansas City; Independence, Lee's Summit and elsewhere in this metropolis--Please drive your cars. You took the trouble to get out on the street so act like you know what you're doing. Hang up your cell phones, put down the makeup and take control of your automobiles. Please drive the speed limit. Please drive away when the light turns from red to green. (Green is not the color signal for contemplation or ringing up a consort. It means GO!) Please use your turn signals to indicate your intentions. And please recognize that my turn signal isn't a plea for permission to change lanes; it is a courtesy required in this society to let you know I am moving over in front of you.
Inevitably on a busy street there will be a line of trundling cars with a person (most often a woman, sorry ladies) in the lead chatting away in an obviously engaging conversation on a mobile phone. All too often she is also trying to manage a cigarette. This must end, or lawlessness may ensue. I have been in too many of those processions at ten MPH under the limit with a STAT delivery and found it painfully slow to work my way up to open road. Again I say: Hang up and drive. And crush out the smokes if you can't see the road out there through the fog of your Camels or Marlboros.
Thank you for your support.
