 Does anyone remember the movie Fried Green Tomatoes? I was thinking of the scene where Cathy Bates slams her car into the car belonging to the two younger girls so she can fit into the parking spot. Then she says "face it girls, I'm older and I have more insurance." Love that scene. Kind of a reminder to respect your elders. Anyway, I had a similar experience on the way home today. I was driving along, minding my own business, going about 60mph, when I look in the rearview mirror, and I see this truck is tailgating me. I mean he's right on me! So this  continues for a few miles. Then he gets to a place where he can pass me, and he floors it! I mean he passes me doing about 80mph! So he speeds away. I keep plugging down the road, doing 60mph, once again just minding my own business. Then I see flashing state trooper lights ahead as I round a corner. Sure enough, this same person got pulled over! I laughed so hard there were tears coming down. I  smiled and thought of that scene from the movie. Sometimes it's nice to be a little older, wiser, and not be in such a hurry, lol.

I quit smoking on March 26th, 2009. I smoked a pack a day for 25 years. I quit because I began having health issues in my early 40's. I had a TIA and a stroke a few years ago. I work as a home delivery salesperson.
