this is so important to maintain order and your sanity whilst trying to get from A to B. There are some important "rules of thumb" that cops use when analysing accident causes, and I'll get to those later, but for a minute I'm going to focus my frustration on etiquette, or simple common sense courtesy towards the drivers around you. Let me pick an example. Say your driving down your street, the cars are parked on the other side of the street, and now another car is coming up the street. now there are 3 cars, you, the oncoming, and the parked car...all three cannot move through the same space at the same time..somethings gotta give ..somebody has to YIELD...yes...that is a very good word YIELD YIELD...do you know what the fuck it means?. It is an important driving term that too many drivers just aren't aware of as it pertains to a discretionary action based upon civility and safety and common sense. But, in this particular situation, as in all driving situations there is a actual 'rule' which dictates who must yield. The driver who has the parked cars on his side must be the one to yield to the driver who has NO parked cars on his side of the road. so next time you see an oncoming car and there are parked cars on your side of the road, don't try and come out and squeeze by....YIELD, hang back behind the parked car...WAIT> YIELD, STOP, until the oncoming car has gone by, then come out from behind the parked car and continue to proceed...that is the correct way to handle this situation. In my town, too often, I see aggressiveness and drivers instead of yielding trying to bully and challenge the other driver to hug the curb more...this is totally fucked, and complete insanity to drive like that.

topcat1666 speaks the truth. this time of year, for me at least, is about visiting with people I haven't seen in a long, long, long time and rehashing old memories while we all get drunk and baked together like old times. I come from a family of potheads, so there's always a cloud of smoke circling around out christmas tree. and don't even get me started on the mass commercialization of christmas and the consumerism that goes along with it. i might not stop for days...
