Another Little Awesome Thing

We've all done it. Driving down the highway and suddenly, you get stuck behind a slow/swerving/pissed-off driver. Try as you might, you just can't get away from them. You try to pass, but there's too many cars. You try to slow down, they just slow down right with you. You actually pass them, and they pass you in two minutes, apparently not aware that cruise control is now standard on most cars (even though my wife and I looked at a three- or four-year old Hyundai that didn't have it).

Then comes the L.A.T.
They turn off the road, relieving you of their obnoxious presence.
Whether you know it consciously or not, you do a little happy dance in your head. You are free to go about driving in your normal way, even though that may be annoying to someone else and you may start the process all over again for someone else.
It's the Circle of (driving) Life.
