Two trips, two smash ups

Had to venture down Crowfoot Trail this morning during rush hour.  As usual, a big six-car pile-up held everyone up.  Just got back from an evening rush hour trip down the same trail and what held me up?  Yep, another six-car pile up.  Every morning and every evening, pile-ups occur on both the Deerfoot and Crowfoot Trails.

Why?

'Cause Calgarians don't know how to drive.  They speed, tailgate and cut you off with gay abandon.  Much has to do with the fact that the average age of a Calgarian is 37, which means they simply do not have enough experience to drive properly.  Especially in winter, when they have no clue that icy roads dictate more distance.

Heard a guy the other day say there are no car "accidents".  Each is caused by bad driving, nothing "accidental" about it.

My little, old 2000 hatchback Honda Civic required substantial servicing to the tune of about $800.  But the way I look at it, it's still much cheaper than a new car, which I would also have to service.  And they no longer make cars such as mine.  As a friend of mine says, "The cheapest car you'll ever own is the one you're driving now."  It's a keeper.
