back from the road trip
for every zippy litttle driver on alaskan highways who wants to go 10-15 miles over the speed limit (raises hand), there will invariably be:
- 15 people with good intentions of speeding but do not have/use cruise control, so they osscillate between 5 miles under and 10 miles over the speed limit
- 75 senior citizen tourists driving huge white and tan road barns towing three suvs and two boats each
- 5 semis and large trucks that haul ass until confronted by a hill
- 20 tourists driving regular non-barn vehicles who guess (incorrectly) at the legal speed limit
- 100 drivers who hug the center line approaching and during passing zones
- 10 drivers who speed delightfully through passing zones, then slow to a crawl to brave horrid alaskan corners
- one driver who will try to kill me

3 Love Notes
Sounds like you've got it about right. At least you know what to expect: slow, arduous frustration.
just remember...they're saying things about you too
I have no cruise control, and yet I still manage to maintain a steady 10 above. It's not hard.
Around here, people from the less-than-privileged class of society have no greater ambition than to own the biggest truck possible, believing that with such a vehicle they will dominate the road. Of course, when those plans are frustrated, they become very rude. Note that none of these people actually have the people/cargo needed to justify such a vehicle.
