This is who I am

I get on Burnet road heading south this morning, and I end up behind a green Ford Taurus.  The dood driving the Taurus must have his seat laid all the way back, because his head is barely visible and I swear it looks like it is in the back seat.

I notice also that when he stops at a light, he is AT LEAST two car lengths behind the car in front of him.  I ascertain that this has to be due to the fact that he can barely see over the dash board since he is, in fact, laying down in a sleeping position while driving. This is what I call smart - SMRT smart!

I am thinking about how dreadfully uncomfortable such a position must be for long periods of time, and my thoughts and the driver’s thoughts must coincide. I say this because at one light, I see him lean forward and stretch, and then he stays leaned forward and continues driving that way until I see him turn off the road. Unfortunately, while leaning forward, his driving does not at all improve.

The entire thing strikes me as being very funny because, being the pragmatic person that I am, I see a very simple solution to his discomfort.

Lean the seat forward man, that’s all it takes.  I promise, it makes a big difference!
