word count
so I only managed about 1300 words yesterday. Not horrible, but not good either.
In other news... my allergies are killing me. I had thought that they were nearly over with, I had been doing better. Then the smoke pours in, literally. Yesterday the sky had a gray/brown haze. I know this color, it is the color of smoke. I read the news and there were a couple of prescribed burns and some of the smoke was coming from arizona.
Still... uugh.
So for my aimless rant of the day... What is up with SUV's?
AT one point I was considering buying one of the small suv's, not because I needed the space, definately not because I needed the fuel prices. It was a matter of self-preservation.
I have been threatened with the prospect of having my car rammed by an suv to the point where I actually had to consider buying one. What the hell is wrong with that? Why should I have to consider a car that I don't want because another driver is too rude to stay off of my ass?
And why is it that these people think that because I am in a car I need to do as they want? I pay taxes, and the road definately does not belong to them. SO why do these people feel the need to threaten me?
Ok, so I know that not everybody who drives an suv is like this, but It sure seems like I encounter these types way more than my fair share.
I ended up not buying an suv, I didn't cave. But why should I even have to consider that?
So how do you all feel about suv's?

I drive an SUV, but i find that it's people on the damn cell phone that threaten me ...
Those too, but not as bad here. Santa Fe passed a law that makes it illegal without a hands free. This doesn't stop everybody, but it does help some.
Women drivers scare me, especially when in an suv, on a cell phone and putting on makeup.
I figure that I'm allowed to complain about women drivers. They can't call me sexist. And as one of them I am in some way complaining about my own driving.
But the best driver story I have is this: I was in another city when I saw a police officer driving own the highway looking up a number in the phone book. The next time I saw him he had called whoever he was looking up and chatting away.
How's that for making you wonder.
