Welcome to Florida - Don't Forget to Leave.
Jaded, you say? Well, pretty much. Our yearly influx of Snowbirds is currently augmented by Spring Breakers, meaning that my small Gulf Coast town more than doubles in size. And by the Wombat Traffic Theorem, traffic idiocy is proportional to the cube of car numbers, expressed thusly:
I(t) kinda = (C*M*S)
Where I(t) is traffic idiocy, C is total cars, M is total minivans, and S is total SUVs.
If you sense my Road Karma Reservoir is running low, you would be right.

But some of them take limo rides, don't they? You can't do all locals.
Well, you'd think that some of the Snowbirds would do so, Joe, but thesedays is isn't the case. Sure, there are more airport runs, but that's about it.
I think it's a factor of the demographics of our local town...our visitors are mostly from the Midwest, and seem quite happy not spending money on limousine runs...
I'd also like one of those bumper stickers, Wombat. Please. ;)
You will be the first one to find one in your mail, NiteByrd. All movements start with a small gesture, right?
I'm with you on your Idiocy theorem. Minivan drivers and SUV drivers seem to be the most crazed. Minivans and SUVs aren't sports cars but the drivers often seem to think they are.
Spot-on, Don. Something about these vehicles unleashes the animal spirits in their drivers, I know not why.
All we can do is shake our heads in disbelief...and change lanes to stay well clear :-)
