no Dubya-sticker

Yesterday (Wednesday, October 10, 2007), about 3 p.m., I was motoring serenely south on the main drag through Canandaigua, Route 332, a four-lane with a median.
I had just left the vaunted Canandaigua YMCA, and was headed for mighty Weggers, where I would use a so-called “sissy-cart” to purchase 5-6 items, one of which would be a gallon of milk, which would turn a hand-held plastical basket into a self-dumping container (“Wet cleanup on Aisle Seven — the almighty Bluster-King is in the store”).
Suddenly a massive full-size powder-blue Chevrolet pickup, four-wheel-drive with Z71 Off-Road suspension, driven by a young macho-dude, lunged out of an eastern side-street, across both northbound lanes of 332, and zoomed wildly left into the southbound lanes.
—Right into the path of a tiny black Mazda Miata two-seater with the top down, driving sedately down the street.
Thankfully I was far enough back to not be effected by all this, although I had to slow for the Miata, who had to slam on his brakes.
The pickup continued up the street, oblivious to any drama, right-turn signal flashing, windows down, loudly serenading all-and-sundry with the F-word via some shouting rapper.
Sorry chillen; no Dubya-sticker, but I did see a “lead, follow, or get out of the way” license-plate surround.
There was also a white cartoon decal on the rear window of Calvin peeing on the Ford oval.
A Confederate flag was draped in the rear window, and a maroon “Git-R-Dun” applique was on the windshield-top.
I also saw two bumper-stickers: “Gun-control is good aim,” and “Git-mo for liberials!”

“Mighty Weggers” is Wegmans, a large supermarket-chain based in Rochester we often buy groceries at. They have a store in Canandaigua.

RE: “a so-called ‘sissy-cart..........’” Wegmans Supermarkets has phased in smaller carts; so-called “sissy-carts” — about half the size of a full-sized grocery-cart. They are the choice for buying only a few things. Such carts have not come into use nationwide; and aren’t in use in Boston, the lair of my macho blowhard brother (the “almighty Bluster-King”) who loudly refuses to use any such thing, as it looks like a cart for unmanly people. Better that he should use a self-dumping plastical arm-basket than look unmanly with a so-called “sissy-cart.”

A “Dubya-sticker” is a Bush-Cheney 2004 bumper-sticker. All insane traffic-moves seem to involve Bush-supporters. They seem to think they have the right.

“Calvin” is the character from the “Calvin & Hobbs” cartoon.

“Liberial” is how my loudmouthed macho brother-from-Boston noisily insists “liberal” is spelled.
