Traveling

So it's the holiday season and Lagniappe and I are off visiting family and friends. We hit the road fairly early on Saturday, and the trip was rather unpleasant, mainly due to the plethora of buffoons and nincompoops who got out on the highways just a bit earlier and apparently feel some calling that requires them to drive slowly in the left lane of the interstates, keeping pace with the slowest vehicles that they can find in the right lane and thus preventing anyone else on the planet from getting anywhere. I know that it's not very Christmasy to wish them bad, but people who cannot grasp the fundamenal concepts of keeping right except to pass and yeilding the left lane to faster traffic really need to have their drivers' licenses taken away for all time, perhaps replaced with a lifetime bus pass.
