Be Careful

This one’s a warning to my readers who live in the Charlotte area.  BE CAREFUL DRIVING AROUND THE BALLANTYNE OFFICE PARK.

I say this because I’ve nearly been hit 3 times in the past 3 weeks.  Two of those were by women flapping their gums on cellphones coming out of the Ballantyne Village onto Ballantyne Commons.  They didn’t even bother to look for oncoming traffic.  The other was by some moron who clearly had no clue about who has the right of way at an intersection (hint:  The person without a stop sign, stop light, or yield sign generally has priority over those who do).

I’m telling you, my horn has gotten quite a workout after having to either swerve out of the way (when traffic allowed) or slam on the brakes.  This is when I’m glad I don’t have a Honda (cheesy horn).  My buddy Greg drove a Honda in high school and college, and I swear he’d have been better off rolling down his window and yelling at someone.  The horn was that weak.

Anyway, I’ve got clothes to get out of the dryer.  Just needed to vent a little frustration there.  And if you’re driving in the Ballantyne area when you hear a horn, it might be mine.  You can avoid it by not driving like an idiot.
