So I'm discovering a whole new source of adult stress, suddenly -- driving.  Which is to say, other drivers.

My first experience with five o'clock rush hour traffic last night was... well, pretty enlightening.  When you're in the correct lane, obeying every traffic law, motoring along at a very acceptable speed, coming up to an intersection where you're going to turn left, got your signal going, feeling good with the world...

...and some IDIOT goes around you on the right and then blasts straight across the front of your car as you enter the intersection because apparently he or she did not think you were going fast enough and they needed to get through that light a little faster...

...well, you take that [poop]PERSONALLY in a way you just don't when you're sitting in the passenger seat.

Swear to God, if I'd had a gun I'd have been chasing that mother****er, and if I'd caught him or her I'd have shot him without a second's hesitation, and been ASTONISHED when arrested/tried/convicted/jailed.

I mean, I would simply expect that a logical exception to pesky laws about murder and such would be made in such an instance.

"The four points of the compass be logic, knowledge, wisdom, and the unknown. Some do bow in that final direction. Others advance on it. To bow before the one is to lose sight of the three. I may submit to the unknown, but never to the unknowable."

Proper care and education for our children remains a cornerstone of our entire colonization effort. Children not only shape our future.. they determine in many ways our present. Men and women work harder knowing their children are safe and close at hand, and never forget that, with children present, parents will defend their home to the death!
