Angry driver behind me at the intersection 127 x 365

HONK!

What’s your problem? I’m not turning left until it is safe to do so.

HONK!HONK!

I refuse to jeopardize my life so you can get home a minute earlier.

HONK!HONK!HONK!

Congratulations, that’s the first time I’ve given the finger to a fellow driver.

HONK!HONK!HONK!HONK!

Ha! I’ve turned. You’re stuck.

This is great. One of the ways I knew it was time to leave DC was my deep understanding of road rage and knowing that if I in fact had a gun in the car, I would use it.

Which would be wrong. (Wouldn't it?)

Nope, it was the person behind me doing all the honking. I actually turned when I didn't want to turn - it was a rainy night and I was wearing my wrong glasses (my driving glasses are stronger than my computer using glasses - the joy of getting old) and at a very busy intersection at rush hour. I nearly put the car in park and got out to talk to the driver - but feared for my life.

First close person in my life who died, Uncle Don called me “Little Miss America”. (He had high expectations for my appearance). He was a short man who worked for the railroad and raised Dobermans. His love for me was genuine and he gave me a lasting gift: my name. Note : Don is the one on the left - the shorter of the two. (the other man was abnormally tall)

Mrs. Wewell 11 x 365

When Mrs. Wewell, our next-door neighbor, said I should pray for her instead of the soldiers in Vietnam, I complied. The next day she caught her arm in the wringer of her old wringer-washer. When I tried it again, a car ran over her dog. I quit praying after that.

George 167 x 365

George, Tim ’s friend from Columbia, Maryland , must have often worn clothes that matched because I called him color-coordinated. He replied: everyone who lived in that planned community was color-coordinated – it was a rule. I now live about thirty minutes from Columbia and, still think of it as Color Coordinated Columbia.
