Todd mentioned that tonight's news is going to be interesting. I have to take a look, see what we're talking about. But anyway, I made a right turn while another vehicle was making a left turn in front of me, so he was blocking the traffic coming from the left. I made the right turn. That was clear. The driver on the opposite side of the intersection screamed over as fast as he could right next to me and then used those multiple fingers to let me know how unhappy he was with me. And then he pulled up alongside me here a minute ago and lambasted me for cutting him off. Now, I don't quite understand how he could have driven through the vehicle that was making a left in front of him. I really don't quite see that. I'd already made my right before that guy finished his left turn. That, you know, that's El Dorado County in Plasterville. If you're in somebody's way, you are in the way and you're wrong and you need to be punished. Well, I'm thinking our 49 comes into 50, if it could be done any worse, the only thing I could think would be 16th Street in Rio London. It's a T intersection, I'm not kidding. You cannot believe the amount of... signal lights that got down there. For those who are going straight, you have to get a turn left. I mean, it's just nightmarish. So I understand what you're talking about there. But that intersection like 409 and 50 came down a couple of times. Boy, you don't want to run a yellow through there. the common stop intersection, but, you know, so I just took advantage of the fact that there was a guy blocking the traffic coming from the left by making a left turn from, you know, he blocked everybody. There was no way they could drive through the guy's pickup, so I made my right. Anyway, but obviously I interfered with this thinking, and he had to let me know. And I could just tell by the way he looked, he was one of those kind of people.
