That's the point idiot, *I* wasn't rushing.

In case you weren't paying attention, it wasn't the best conditions to
stop in.  I'm sure the 40 other people whose life he just got done
jeopardizing weren't going to stop either.  Karma.  Believe in it.

Revolked?  Is that like owning a VW, selling it, then buying a new one?
And what the hell is "lincense?"  Incense made with linseed oil?

I'm sure that my safety was PARAMOUNT in his mind as he tried to get
in my trunk for a mile before blasting around me.  As far as he being
injured, watching him trying to push his car out was enough indication.

And watch your mouth.  I don't like being called an ampersand.  How many
times did you type that before you realized that "@" erased the whole thing?

>> P.S.  Yes, *I* stop; one time I was 2 hours late to work because my clothes

Good thing you opened the door and got out.  You could have drowned.  And
next time, don't drive off into lakes polluted with gasoline.  But seriously,
I'm touched.  You should have blown off the day and gone fishing.  I'll
bet that person didn't just finish trying to endanger your life, either.

Listen, Bruce, It's been a pleasure flaming with you, but 1) you're too
damn far South (U of Fla) to understand, and 2) that article was posted
months ago.  You need a better feed site or read news more often.  And
don't tell me you lived in Northern Idaho with 45 feet of snow a month
and solid ice until you were 18 and you know what it's all about.  I
won't believe you.  And keep away from those gasoline-coated lakes.
