Saab-story

(Another case of INSANE driving to report.)

(But this was far ahead, and didn’t effect me at all.)

I’m headed west on 5&20, returning from mighty Weggers and the Canandaigua YMCA. (Friday, April 17, 2009.)
Far ahead is a black Saab that had a “Swedish-American” license-plate surround. (It passed me on the Bypass.)
Down the hill out of Canandaigua toward Centerville; past Hopkins Road.
Suddenly the Saab jerks madly to the left into the adjacent lane — it’s a two-lane highway.
A pickup is coming down the opposite hill toward the Saab, but it looks like there’s enough room to pass if the Saab wedged ahead of the car that was just ahead.
But no; the Saab ain’t doin’ that; he’s got it floored to pass two cars.
People start moving toward the shoulder to give this idiot room.
He’s already into the double-yellow, starting uphill.
Idiot jukes madly to the right, and everyone returns to their lanes.
Gotta watch out for them Git-R-Dun engineers.

“5&20” is the main east-west road through our area; State Route 5 and U.S. Route 20, both on the same road. 5&20 is just south of where we live. —I use it to get to-and-from Canandaigua. It has a “Bypass” around Canandaigua.

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

I work out in the exercise gym at the Canandaigua YMCA.

“Centerville” is a tiny hamlet on 5&20 just west of Canandaigua.

My all-knowing, blowhard brother-from-Boston, the macho ad-hominem king, who noisily badmouths everything I do or say, is a “Git-R-Dun engineer.” The sort that disables the entire Florida power-grid to cure a power surge.
