Is everyone drunk but me?

   Driving around the past two days, I have witnessed:

* an SUV drive straight through the intersection of Fremont and Primrose in a right-turn only lane and nearly ram the other cars out of their way, then take up two lanes while trying to make a left-hand turn;

* a car driving down National in the pitch dark with no headlights on;

* a fancy Escalade tooling down Battlefield at a whopping 20 miles per hour with traffic backed up forever behind it;

* and a lady LOOKING RIGHT AT ME DRIVING TOWARDS HER as she pulls out onto Battlefield in front of me and I have to slam on my brakes!

   Seriously, is everyone in Springfield drunk these days but me?! They sure drive like they are. I have been on Prednisone for the past week trying to kick bronchitis, so I can't get a buzz on even if I tried. Maybe if I could, my nerves wouldn't be so jangled from running some simple errands.
   Come on, folks, do your cocktailing at home and pay attention when you are on the road! Thank you.
