Have you ever noticed that you can justify just about anything while you are driving? Take this for example. I’m driving along and come to a pedestrian crosswalk. Two women are standing looking left, right, left, right over and over. They are undoubtedly undecided when to cross. I proceed – in my mind they were just not ready to cross. My mind is KAAAA RAAA ZEEEE though – I saw them flip me the bird in my rear view mirror!

ALONE - one of my favorite poems
Alone
by Edgar Allan Poe
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were--I have not seen
As others saw--I could not bring
My passions from a common spring--
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow--I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone--
And all I lov'd--I lov'd alone--
Then--in my childhood--in the dawn
Of a most stormy life--was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still--
From the torrent, or the fountain--
From the red cliff of the mountain--
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold--
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by--
From the thunder, and the storm--
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view--
by Edgar Allan Poe

Another perspective you may not have considered...
Have you ever noticed that you can justify just about anything while you are walking? Take this for example. I’m walking along and come to a roadway intersection. A woman in a vehicle is stopped, looking left, right, left, right over and over. She is undoubtedly undecided when to continue driving. I proceed – in my mind she was just not ready to go. My mind is KAAAA RAAA ZEEEE though – I see her flip me the bird when I look back!
The lesson, I think, is that when one is driving or walking, it is best to keep the bird firmly unflipped.
