After two particularly harrowing trips between Petticoat Junction and Hooterville today, I was completely prepared to write a tremendously venomous and scathing post about idiots who monopolize the passing lane whilst most definitely
not passing other cars, thus impeding the progress of the cars behind them, driven by drivers who most definitely
do want to use the passing lane for actual, you know,
passing, like the good lord intended, but, then, I was like, "no, Chelle; you're better than that", so, instead, I'm going to post this text exchange that I had with Queen B yesterday, because, what the world needs now is love (sweet love), and, I choose to be a part of the solution, not the problem.
Aren't you glad I spared you the rage?
Yes, I thought so. And, I digress..
...this is our conversation, starting with the screenshot that she took of her text conversation with her nana.
I can't even! They are seriously the cutest humans on my planet. This totally makes up for all the lane-hogging assholes on the highway. Totally.
In some states (sadly not New York) it is actually illegal to hang out in the passing lane doing the speed limit and impede traffic. I think the threshold is if there are more than 5 cars behind you patiently waiting for you to get the fuck outta the way, you must move over of face getting a ticket (if a trooper witnesses it). Sorta like the no texting while driving thing. Great idea, difficult to enforce.
