Remedial driver's ed hereby ordered for all of our county!

Ya know, I have one main job here as Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy  -- take care of the patient.
Now, he's pretty self-sufficient (much more so than I ever expected -- overachiever that he is I'm sure he feels he's pretty much on track), and he can take care of most of his own needs and doesn't have so much in the way of any truly 'nursey' type duties needed. So I'm more cook, chauffeur,  errand person, secretary  -- that sort of thing. [That can be a whole other post]  Hey, whatever is needed, it's all good -- and all in the written contract I'm pretty sure I signed way back in June of 1998. ;-)  

BUT ... if one of main goals is taking care of patient, and part of that is keeping patient safe, then I hereby declare that the rest of our county in PA needs remedial driver's ed. RIGHT NOW! Especially the upper, north-north-west part of the county.  Holy crap! Everywhere I drove today it was like they were out to get me. I turned off the main street of town, down a side street to take him to the hospital for a scheduled follow-up with his doc, and first we come right up against a semi stopped blocking the street. So I cautiously wait behind truck, looking to see when safe to move left and go around -- but first zooms up & around another SUV ... ok, I start to go again ... but behind him barreling down the short block is  .... a giant bulldozer with one of those sharp, plow looking fronts   [or perhaps it was one of these WTF - it had big tires, was yellow & had a blade! ] . So I back off again, wait, try again to get around, the road is finally clear I pull out to pull around ... and now the damn semi with its hazards still blinking starts to move and pulls back out into the middle of the short little side block. ACK!  I'm trying to get the patient to a routine follow-up at a hospital not 4 minutes away and if this keeps up we're gonna be going there in the red truck with the sirens! 

And it kept up like that all day with drivers coming at me funny in parking lots, backing out at weird times, cutting the wrong way, getting indecisive at stop signs and turns, odd speed and diving on the highway, and on and on.  I'm not having good "Carma" today obviously.
Capped off by having my own car towed out of my own driveway because it's pissed at me for going away, leaving it, not driving it for nearly a month and favoring the other car upon our return b/c M can get in/out of its backseat easier  -- so it decided to not start, or start reluctantly and with burned smells and smoke wisping out of its a$$.  See ... bad "carma"  -- spelling puns intended.
