Ticked off! @slow poke

-

I see people complainin­g about the roads and saying they should be changed to make them safer. I think they would be made safer if there were a couple of police cars stationed on them during rush hours running radar and issuing speeding tickets. That would be better than raising taxes every time you turn around.

If you’re on a two-lane road with a double yellow stripe there will be a slowpoke at the head of the long, long line going 15 mph below the speed limit and riding the brake as they approach a green light, so you’ll spend two extra minutes at each red light the slowpoke forces you to endure, along with the 30 frustrated drivers behind you.

Must be nice to have a job that pays well and you are accurate on that job about 25% of the time! Bad enough that you “certified“meteorolog­ists pound your forecasts on us every five minutes but your weather app is always inaccurate. We decided not to go to a water park today because mister pinpoint inaccurate weather man said storms all afternoon starting at 3. That’s when the sun came out for the rest of the day! Please don’t let these goofs deter your plans with their horrible weather prediction­s, just go!

I am ticked off that we are going to be forced into electric cars, which are terrible for the environmen­t. Yet no one has ever mandated that the DOT get better mileage from cars. How many times have you sat at a light with no other cars in sight? Just sitting there getting zero miles to the gallon. Is any of the so-called inflation reduction money going to have AI installed to manage traffic? Of course not. That would be too efficient and against the current agenda.

The flip side

Thank you to my mom Mary who is so kind, always looks for the best in others and helps other people whenever she can.
