Highway Idiots

The trip yesterday night was pretty okay. Not that much traffic (going south at least. For some strange reason the people going north had a lot of traffic jams..).

At one point we were driving through some construction with speed limit 80 kph. I was already going about 90 but still there was some asshole behind me who got so close I could barely see his headlights (at 90 kph!!). I couldn’t go to the right lane to let him pass because it was packed with trucks. Finally I found a spot and he passed me. I was so angry at that guy. Had I been forced to brake he would have had no chance to brake in time and crashed into us. Fortunately this didn’t happen. I continued to be really pissed until I suddenly had the totally irrational fear that he was some kind of madman and would have pulled out a gun and shot me had I stayed in front of him for a while longer. Dunno why I thought this as things like this don’t happen in Germany…

Tonight I dreamt that we were fishing at “our” lake in VA. I caught something huge. But it was no fish but a snake. I couldn’t control it. So it began to chase my dad who was swimming in the water. It almost caught him and then I woke up.

Today we visited an ostrich and llama farm. Very cool animals. Those ostriches were huge. The llamas liked me of course and didn’t even spit on me :) I shot a few pictures. I’ll see if I can upload some of them later tonight or tomorrow. I have to leave for a poker and “Roadrunner & Coyote” night now.
