How was the drive??
Husband: how was your drive back home? Wife: it was fine, I missed the main exit but I managed to do it.
BMW the ultimate crashing machine...
Maybe you've seen the TV commercials about BMW... the ultimate driving machine.
Long blog again, I've got a lot on my mind... ;-)
I checked with Google who reports the average age of a BMW driver is 57 years old. Perhaps, but the ones who come up on my rear bumper flashing their headlights are much younger.
Depending on my driving schedule, I'm doing 600 miles per week. I get on the road around 8:30am and return home around 8:30pm. That gets me after rush hour when traffic starts to clear. All of South Florida's highway system is under construction. The posted speed limit is 65 on most highways and there are times we are doing 80. Yes, we... I'm not alone.
I have a saying "It doesn't matter how fast I go, someone always wants to go faster."
Three years ago, the Department of Transportation partitioned off a lane designated as an 'Express Lane' where they charge a toll that the fee is determined by the time of day and amount of traffic. From Downtown to the northern most part of Miami is 10 miles and the toll start at 50 cents in the middle of the night and jumps to $10.50 for a Friday at 5:00pm ride during the month of September. Thankfully, I'm not around that part of Miami in my travels. The section I'm using is near Hollywood to Fort Lauderdale and is 50 cents. The normal flow of traffic is around 35-45mph and the express lane peaks around 65. The lane ends and typically traffic thins out so we can go faster.
One morning, I got to the end of the express lane expecting to speed up but the guy in front of me wants to shift right... but traffic won't allow it. I look in my rear view mirror and see a BMW right on my tail. He wasn't there two blinks ago and probably one car length from me now. He's flashing his lights like I'm holding up traffic. Within a second, this guy get so close that I cannot see his headlights! Oh, time for a video. I click my cellphone to movie mode as no one is going to believe this story. I'm actually forced to slow down to avoid the guy in front and I'm sure the guy behind is thinking I'm hitting the brakes intentionally to annoy him and he decides to switch lanes jamming the speed at the same time as the guy in front changes lanes.
Like a scene in the movie Mission Impossible this guy slips between us but he has enough time to 'shoot me a bird' like I was the one causing the problem.
I had a few choice things to say and was sure he had overdosed on a**hole pills that morning, typical of many BMW drivers.
Wow, I said all that. Now, back to the intended blog.
I see lots of car accidents, but this month, most of the serious high-speed accidents involved BMW's.
Last Sunday morning around 7:30 two BMW's collided on the Turnpike that back up traffic for miles. Although there isn't much traffic that early in the morning, I say they were high-speed racing, all lanes were closed and we were single file riding on the easement. It was no less than 30 minutes crawling to go two miles around the accident. I could see bumpers on the roadway, deployed side airbags, broken parts all around the wreck. I knew they were BMW's from the emblems on the wheels. The front of one and rear of the other... totaled.

The Grand Tour season 3 episode 2 - a review!
It is Friday, which means it's time for my favourite car show - The Grand Tour! This time it's a special in two parts!
The trio is in Columbia, on a mission from Amazon: They have to take pictures of wildlife for an Amazon screensaver. Among the animals is a hippopotamus, a jaguar and a bear. No car show is complete without cars, so what did they pick for the journey?
Clarkson went with a Jeep Wrangler, May went with a tiny little Fiat Panda 4X4, and Hammond went for a 7.2 liter Chevrolet Silverado 2500 monster truck!
On the way there, they naturally had some problems and breakdowns along the way, but also some hairy stuff. What that is, I will not spoil here.
Being a two-parter, the conclusion comes tomorrow, but I cannot wait to see how this episode pans out. Hopefully they will get some spectacular stuff!
This episode gets a 8/10 from me. It doesn't really crack the 10 mark, since it lacked something. Something I cannot put my finger on.
The Grand Tour Season 3 is streaming now on Amazon Prime!

i was born
I was born in '64
None before me spoke for me
I was free mind living in the Romper Stompers
Big Blue Marble schooled me
Tales from nations far from me
I ain't no dummy
Put your cache away
You got nothing to stay
Real world chimes
Whines remind
A charlie horse is just a spasm
Of a malignant o*gasm
Of hate and spew
That flavors a stew
Of yes and know
We all know better
lick the letter
seal it with a kiss
of life or death

How to improve your driving in 3 easy steps...
1) say "I'll call you back later"
2) press the red button once
3) rest your cellphone on the passengers seat.
It cannot get much easier than that.
Today, I was behind someone leaving a parking lot and I'm waiting and waiting. No cars were on the main crossroad. Getting ready to blow my horn the car started started out going left. I also made a left and was behind the car again. Slow ride, but the driver hit the brakes as though they wanted to make a full stop. No other cars around... none. I got in the next lane and as I passed the other driver, I could see they had a cellphone pressed against their face. Ahhh... that explained it.

The Grand Tour season 3 episode 3 - a review!
It's Saturday, so it is time for part 2 of The Grand Tour's Colombia special.
When we left the action, the guys had just finished taking photographs of a jaguar, and they are now facing the task, of photographing a bear, a condor and a hippopotamus.
So far, the trio of cars have been performing well, not suffering any major breakdowns at all. But the terrain gets even more brutal, and the altitudes are getting higher.
As per usual, there are many gags and laugh out loud moments. One of them comes 8 minutes into the episode, where James and Richard poke fun of Jeremy. Good stuff!
It is easy to see the chemistry between the three guys, and I really enjoy their witty banter back and forth. I also have a small correction: Hammond was driving a Chevrolet C/K Silverado, which was shipped from the US to Columbia at night.
But anyway, my honest opinion about this Colombia special, is that it sits up there with the best of the specials.
This episode, for me, gets an 8 out of 10!

Because it’s Valentine’s Day
Being Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d try to write something positive about love. I am formulating my thoughts.
I wrote “I love you” on my forehead and brushed my bangs away
While you were seated next to me in class
I gave you a parting hug after exchanging numbers under the lights of an empty evening parking lot
I suddenly liked my night course, coursing
After attending “the Fantastics” in college auditorium, we walked familiar lot
Boldly holding hands, waves of heat spreading
A much desired kiss was made
As our attraction and infatuation blossomed

Tower
The spiral tower ejected confetti on the hour
She clutched her coat tighter
To insulate Bare skin, shivering
From nervous thoughts, fighting
With urgest thoughts, guilty
For feeling a space inside, empty
Drawing her to the spiral tower, lustily
For LJ

you are causing so much pain
don't deny it. all you do is tell everyone
what I have done.
there is nothing I can say or do to repair the damage between us
you are free to do whatever you want, and I won't say a word. I don't know why I am the bad guy for not wanting to reply
it's been two years almost. you've been with how ever many guys you claim. because you seduce and are insanely popular here. I am no one here.
I do not want you to be poor and desperate and whatever else. but for Christ's sake, you kicked me out in June 2017 when I had a steady job. I did not abandon you to your depths and debt. You threw me out and tried to have everyone in sight, and on this site too.
you kidding me? I am not responsible for you two years after we broke. you are not a victim, you are a blaming crazy person who victimizes others.
you come off so nice and just pervert here, though
