HAH! I say close to the same thing to friends or relatives who are driving in LA for the first time...

There are two things to know when driving in Los Angeles:
1) Everyone else is more important than you are.
2) Where they need to go is more important than where you need to go.
Once you know and accept those two things, the way everyone drives suddenly makes sense!

Why did that person go in the right-turn lane to jump in front of everyone else at the stoplight? Oh yeah... They're more important than you are...

Why did that other person cut across four lanes of traffic at 120 mph, just to take the next exit? Oh yeah... Where they need to go is more important than where you need to go...

Go ahead and laugh, but I will stick to back roads thankyewverymuch! When I was younger and came out here to visit, I drove from LAX to Simi Valley, and from Buena Park to San Diego - and lived to tell about it! Now, my eyes are old and the reflexes have slowed so I limit my driving.

Oh, for FarmerBoy, I have BBS orpington chickens and dewlap toulouse geese.

I think that Sue is laughing with you not at you. Plus I need to use the word PRETEND because I pretnd that I have no fear when driving the freeways and i PRETEND that I will make it home alive and well.

I guess I'm used to it 'cause I almost gave my poor father a heart attack the last time I picked him up at the airport. I heard him say, "You sure drive like you're in LA..." I looked over and the poor man was white-knuckling the armrest. Lol!

Believe me even after living here for 25+ years I still think everyone drives like a maniac. I think: Whats the big hurry, so what if you get there 4 nanoseconds later???? GEEZ.....I had one close call when I was driving a full-size truck pulling a horse trailer loaded w/ 2 horses. We are talking like 3,000 lbs of dead weight trailing behind me...and this joker got mad because I had to change lanes into HIS lane [the lane I was in was a merging lane]. He decided to put on the brakes right in front of me!!!

You have no idea what it feels like to have ALL that weight coming at you from behind. The horses were OK but the backdoor was bent from them hitting it! STOO-PID driver. Anyway, I talk too much....

LOL

I sometimes hit up my daughter on the weekends for trips to certain stores that are further than I want to drive. Although she is an excellent driver and has been here longer than I have, I am afraid one day I may put a hole through the floor of the passenger seat when I apply "my brake"!

Her reaction -

Yay! People by me! I'm in Yorba Linda, very close to a couple people on here! Lowry075 - I'm off Bastanchury, too!

I have 17 chickens at the moment - 5 bantam cochin (4 hens, 1 roo), 3 OEGB (I think) hens, 2 silkie hens, 2 shamo roos, 2 bantam EE hens, 1 Japanese cross roo, 1 light brahma hen, and 1 standard cochin roo. I also have 10 eggs from my girls and 2 duck? eggs in the incubator, plus 2 eggs under my broody sisters.

I also have several other animals, which are listed in my signature below.


BTW - FarmerBoy - I saw that you posted in here, so I figured I would stick to one thread.
