I can't figure out how my cat knows..... I can be making a meal - in and out of the fridge multiple times - 2-5 different bags opened and closed ---- he's in the other room or up stairs sleeping on the bed.... As soon as I open a (ziplock) bag of cheese --- he's at my feet within 30 seconds begging for cheese....
How he knows that --- I have no idea... no particular sound - way too quick for the smell to get anywhere.....
Also have to say --- got up yesterday and let the cat out and went and made my coffee.... see cat down in the yard stalking.... POUNCE into the bush.... and out he comes with a vole in his mouth!!! Sweet! I go and meet him in the garage - he trotted right up and dropped it at my feet - praised him and filled his bowl. Came back out ~hour later and there is the dismember vole with a pile of fresh kibble puke on top.... I was surprise he even tried to eat it --- he doesn't eat any rodent with a black tail for some reason..... Guess he forgot.... betting he won't try that again.

Some old dude in a clapped out late 90s minivan...definitely entertaining.
He's in right lane, I'm in left lane.... Guy in front of me is going too slow... and minivan man is now pacing me and it's not safe to change lanes so I slow down to pull in behind him because he's still going faster than the guy in front of me...
Minivan man slows down.... *sigh* No other vehicles on the roadway within an appreciable distance other than us 3, so its not like the guy to my right is slowing down for traffic.
OK, so I speed back up.... nope, minivan man hits the gas and leaves me enough room to change lanes but not enough to do so without cutting the guy off, so I slow back down again... Minivan man slows down.... In hindsight, it looks like dude was just being a dick and pacing me and not wanting me to pass but I wasn't thinking that at the time....
Guy in front of me speeds up a bit, but still below the speed limit, so I see an opportunity to pass on the right, safely, as in, I'm going a good bit faster than minivan man to my right and there's easily 2+ car lengths and additional distance now growing rapidly.. So, I safely change lanes... and once I safely pass I slow down a bit because I was only going as fast as I was to create distance so minivan man didn't think I cut him off...... but still faster than what minivan man was going...
Well, minivan man didn't like that, and once I was in front of him, now going a good 10 MPH faster than he was, decided he was gonna try and muster up every bit of his 127 horsepower to try and close the distance, and now decided he wanted to go 20 MPH faster than I was to close the distance, then proceeded to tailgate me and pull out his phone and take pictures....
I laugh it off... I have to make a right turn so I'm in the right turn lane and he pulls up next to me and rolls down his window, holding his phone up...Before he has a chance to say anything I tell him 'Don't worry, I have cameras front and rear that record everything', and he says 'So, it'll show you cutting me off!'.... I just laughed, rolled up my window and made my turn...
TLDR; old guy in minivan almost rear ends me because he's upset someone is driving faster than he was... which put him about 30 MPH above the speed limit so he could catch up, because I passed him with more than enough distance between vehicles that necessitated he drive that fast to close the distance as fast as he did...

Nobody has more driving incidences than you TW. Honestly Man, do you think it might actually have something to do with your driving? That it's not always the other guy? When you have that many issues and it's always the other guy's fault....it's not. Think about it.

I just drive a little faster than everyone, this statagy seems to work. I leave enough space for the assholes to pass me, and try to avoid lane changes. It works pretty good.
With diesel prices though I'm thinking I may have to start driving 55 like it's 1970.

Like your last one that clearly showed you brake checked them, followed them, and then claimed you were not at fault. You drive a vehicle that "Attracts assholes?" Then don't be one, and don't play something you are not. Tough love TW, sometimes it hurts. I think you are a good dude personally, but you need to reel yourself in. You aren't a Cop, stop playing like one in your ex Cop Car. It's going to end badly for you one day.

NWGunner wrote: Must…resist…joke… LOL. Yeah, I kinda set that one up, didn't I? For a lot of people, their vehicles are an extension of their personality.. The types of vehicles I drive, tend to trigger people who are passive-aggressive and can't really act out, but use the types of vehicles I drive as an 'out', eg I drive an old crown vic.. They don't have the balls to flip off a cop but they'll flip me off and cut me off just to say 'fuck you, I know you're not a cop, you can't do anything'.... I never really had any issues in my F150, or when borrowing other people's 'normal' cars..... My crown vic tends to attract the 'fuck you, I know you're not a cop and to prove it I'll cut you off' type of people..... My M934 attracted tweakers and dumb blondes.. My M1010 didn't really have any issues... My M1031 attracted the leftist, anti-gun, 'You drive a chevy that's painted camo, you racist' type of people... Which generally wasn't an issue except for vehicles with CA plates.. My F150 didn't really have any issues. My Grand Marquis didn't really have any issues, other than an idiot cop. Also, I'm pretty sure the number of dumb drivers is increasing, considering the lack of enforcement.. People are driving faster/more aggressive, and feel like they can get away with more. I'm not immune from that either. A decade ago I'd set my cruise control at the speed limit... now I'm just like 'fuck it, I'll go with the flow of traffic'... even it's 10-20 mph above the speed limit.

This is a mildly entertained/annoyed thread. The actions of minivan man mildly entertained me, and I posted as such. Quote: Like your last one that clearly showed you brake checked them, followed them, and then claimed you were not at fault. WTF are you even talking about.... How the fuck did I brake check someone? and how was I 'following someone' when they were behind me?

Hearing that Trevor Noah is leaving the Daily Show.... He never was all that funny.... he was okay in the skits when John was still there, but just didn't cut it as a host. He was just a 'woke' host pushing the agenda. Wondering who will step in as host now...
