Trucks.

Normally, trucks on the Western Spur of the Turnpike are my worst nightmare. The turnpikeat this point cuts through the marshy meadowlands with many bodies of water. As a result, the Turnpike steeply inclines and declines on four large humps in the road. 30 ton trucks don't accelerate too well here, and either through stupidity or arrogance, drivers of these big rigs never stay in the right lane. As a result, traffic is always pretty bad.

Today though was amazing. The cars and SUVs were all jammed over on the far left lane becuse the trucks were hogging the center and right lanes. I then proceded to weave between the slow moving 18 wheelers for four miles--essentially passing one truck, changing lanes, passing the next one and so fourth. This work beautifully until a middle aged man driving a compact car decided to get into my lane. Damn. But it was fun while it lasted. It sort of reminded me of this Tiger handheld driving game I had a dozen years ago.
