For sure. But people are in a hurry for some reason. I remember back during the oil crisis (55 mph speed limit) when traveling seemed more relaxing. Wish we'd kept it up. Reminds me of a scenario I saw in La Paz. There was a near miss at a major intersection, honking horns, traffic stopped for a couple of minutes while one of the affected parties got out of her car and marched over to the offending driver, walked up to his window and glared him in the face, hands on her hips. The observers held our breath, waiting for the stream of invective to pour out. She drew a breath and slowly enounced: "Tienes mucha prisa, ¿verdad, hijo?" And with that scathing insult proffered, she turned heel back to her car and drove off. |

Lame excuse of the week: "Yeah, officer, I knew I was driving 20 over, but my car is geared wrong to go the speed limit!"  |
