in the process, i watched 3 people come to a dead stop, get out, and offer to fight the person trying to merge in/around them, and 2 other people that would wildly serve at any merging-lane-blockers...

traffic finally merged, but then no one wanted to observe fast/slow lane discipline, and then clogged up the road behind 2 people that wanted to do 50mph side by side. for 20 miles..

people are their own worst enemy.

I so do not miss going places. Thanks for the reminder why.
