People are flashing me more often in the slow lane on the freeway, but I don't care anymore because it's the slow lane and they usually have 3 other lanes to the left that they can use. I just give them a friendly wave.

And I have to hit the brakes also, because there are always slower-than-me-pokes trying to merge into the slow lane from on-ramps. I guess I should think of those as "grumpy credits". Every time I have to brake for them, I get a "grumpy credit" that I can trade for someone who comes up on me. And if they flash me, I get my "grumpy credit" back, because I didn't do it to the other person. Orrrrrrrrr, I could go with a generic "karma credit".

I am lucky not to have a heavy foot because I stared driving in the era of the 55 MPH speed limit, so that or below is my comfort speed. I keep trying to come up with the perfect bumper-sticker slogan :

Time is Money, but Gas costs MORE
Will Speed for Gas
I CAN drive 55!!!
