Yesterday evening, while I was driving to the Shady Grove Metro station to pick up Tahra, I witnessed the antics of the dumbest driver I have seen in quite a while: he turned onto the highway in the right-most of two right turn lanes, and ended up in an exit-only lane when the highway automatically becomes a freeway. He waits until the last second (meaning the exit lane he's in is starting to curve away from the main road and the solid line has separated into two) to swerve out of the exit lane into the right-most lane of the freeway. Which puts him into another exit-only lane. And he repeats the process. Seemingly sick of exit-only lanes, he moves over to the middle lane of three lanes. Then, another mile or two down the road, it widens to four lanes, but two of them are exit-only -- and there are huge signs indicating this. But get this: the guy moves to the right one lane, into one of the exit-only lanes -- and proceeds to do his last-second swerve-back one more time! All the while, he's been frequently turning his head to the right, as if he's talking to someone short in the passenger seat (he's in a convertible with the top down). By this point, he's scared me enough that I zip past him, only to discover that he's the only one in the car. Freak.
Also yesterday, I entered 190 Star Wars related items into my eBay TurboLister software. No, Karen, it's not the end of the world -- I just need to clear out some junk I never use (but I'm keeping the good stuff!). The auctions will start Saturday evening, once I actually upload them to eBay. I've also got some (19) RPG books that didn't sell a month ago in case anyone is interested.

Minnesota actually has a reporting program at the following url.

You can report a lame ass driver's license plate and they send them a letter or something. I have used it once.
This BMW was swerving all 3 lanes behind me cutting people off, past me, and cut me off. He then took the same exit as I did shortly after. Even though he was going 10-20 mph faster then me and swerving all over the place, I ended up right behind him at the traffic light. I wrote down his license plate. Then he turns left goes under the bridge and the traffic light ahead goes red so he quickly turns left across incoming traffic into a gas station and proceeds to speed through the station without stopping and into the road past the gas station. Punk ass driver. I about died the way this idiot was driving.
