next set of lights or at a Stop sign to wait - and I pull up
slowly right behind them a few minutes later.

Me Too!, those drivers don't realize my driving at the Posted Speed Limit
keeps them from getting a Speeding Ticket, if there is a Law Enforcement
Radar car just up ahead around the curve.

I'm not active on Amateur (Ham) Radio but I look at the letters on their License Plate as they go pass me and in my head I will sound out those
letters in Morse Code.

Hello Daryl!

Hi, August,

Today is Saturday September 5, 2020.

On this day...
The minutes
Some folks
Save through speed
They never even
Live to need
Burma-Shave

I always get a good laugh when people struggle to find an
opening to pass me (often with clear indications of
frustrations and acceleration), but they end up sitting at the
next set of lights or at a Stop sign to wait - and I pull up
slowly right behind them a few minutes later.

My question is "Why rush to a red light??". Only in America, we
rush to beat:

1) The traffic lights at intersections.
2) The trains at railroad crossings.
3) The boats at drawbridge river crossings.

But, we'll stand patiently for 3 hours on the golf course. That's
like the late Red Skelton noting "I know a guy with a beard down to
his beard...hair down to his butt...yet, he shaves under his arms.
Now, you figure it out". <G>

Daryl

... Well, to be frank, I'd have to change my name.

Ed,

Me Too!, those drivers don't realize my driving at the Posted Speed
Limit keeps them from getting a Speeding Ticket, if there is a Law Enforcement Radar car just up ahead around the curve.

I've told local law enforcement officers that if they want to set up
a speed trap, they should do it in front of the local college, the
University Of Arkansas At Little Rock (UALR -- I'm an alumnus, and also
their ham radio club VE Team liaison). There is a 25 mph speed limit in
front of there on University Avenue...but if you drive 25 there, you'll
either be run over or shot at. Most folks do at least 40 or 50...I don't
know why they have speed limits...no one seems to obey them.

I'm not active on Amateur (Ham) Radio but I look at the letters on
their License Plate as they go pass me and in my head I will sound out those letters in Morse Code.

I'll do that at times myself...but I'm usually trying to keep my eyes
on my driving. I don't have ham gear in the car, or at home...just operating "internet radio"...but at least, I'm active on the air, and my license isn't just "a piece of paper". However, that's mainly for nets that I run...if I don't have to run a net, I usually take the night off.

I am desperately trying to figure out why Kamikaze pilots wore helmets.

To lessen their Excederin headaches?? <G>

... Looks like I picked the wrong week to answer QWK Mail.
