It takes a different kind of imaginary self importance to intentionally block someone in a hurry from passing.

To put some CHL content to it, that behavior is textbook "P" ego state from the NVDR part of class.

1. A failure to plan on someone else's part does not create an immediate, and potentially hazardous, emergency on my part.
2. The "P" ego state from the NVDR part of CHL class is what? Enlighten me, if you please.

I reckon a funeral procession really fries your shorts, eh?

The posted speed limit is exactly that, a LIMIT. Just because somebody else is driving over the LIMIT doesn't mean that I have to. I quit being in a self-important and imaginary hurry several years ago.

I usually never exceed the posted speed limit and most often drive 5-10 mph under it. If y'all are in that big of a rush to beat me to the next town or red light, you need to leave your starting point a little earlier.

In case your looking for it, It's an inferno red Dodge 2500 Cummins with a Rancher grill guard in front and a honkin' big trailer hitch in back. In between, is a cool, steely-eyed and armed, Sr. Gent enjoying your highway antics.

Y'all be careful, ya hear?

Roger that, good advice!

My handheld radio has been a de-escalator here in the park on more than one occassion. {Little do they know that the Lake County Sheriff or my Park Warden is 30-45 minutes away}.
