Um, maybe you shouldn't be driving

Last night I was walking across the street when this car came creeping up to the crosswalk and rolled into it until the driver saw that I was in front of his car.  I had thought I had eye-contact but apparently not.  I kind of jumped back and gave a "um, I am right here" look at the driver.  The driver then rolled down the passenger side window and much to the obvious embarrassment of his adult children yelled at me, "I can't see with the lights from the oncoming traffic, you A-hole!"

  1. Nice language. I half expected to see his grandchild's car seat in the back.  Now there is some behavior you want to pass down from generation to generation.
  2. Dude why are you yelling at ME?  It's MY fault you can't see at night?

I am sure there is some frustration and misdirected anger, but come on people!  One can't drive on one-way streets forever.  Ahhhh, life in the city.

For Thought

  • Quote "Peace"
    “Peace it does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”
  • Benediction
    Thank to all who have asked for this. This is a compilation of many different benedictions that I have heard throughout the years, no originality claimed, just some great opportunities to share it.

    Go forth into the world
    With compassion and justice in your heart
    Give voice to the silent
    Give strength to the weak
    See one another
    Hear one another
    Care for one another
    And love one another
    It's all that easy
    And it's all that hard

    Now may the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ
    The love of God
    And the power of the Holy Spirit
    Be with us all, now and forever more
    AMEN
