Thank God for the wingman

Ah, there are so many things to be thankful for in this beautiful month of November, leaves changing colors, football, turkey dinner, the cool crisp air of a fall night and all the friendly drivers I see every day on the freeways in Dallas. People closing the gap when someone has their signal on to change lanes, cutting off other drivers and shooting the bird, these are really just disguised friendly gestures of love and compassion. Can you tell I’m on the upside of my Manic Depression?

But for all the real, friendly drivers out there, I just want to say; I love you and I appreciate you with all my heart. You are the one who lets in three cars at a time, why, because you like to see people wave at you. When someone turns on their signal, you don’t speed up, so they can make it to their destination a little faster.

Yes, I am thankful for all the drivers out there, even the assholes, because without you I wouldn’t have anything to write about. So let’s take a moment in this time of giving thanks and reflect on all our blessings. Next time someone cuts you off instead of honking at him, speed up and cut him off, that way he’ll run off the highway and flip the vehicle five times resulting in a fiery crash. I hope your holiday is a peaceful one and be sure and join us again next week. Until then…

Take care and be safe-
