[Coco] VCF Southwest

[John Donaldson]

BTW, It has been confirmed that Houston has the worst traffic in the whole 
state. One of the main reasons wife and I left Houston.

haha!! It's open season here for in-state plates as well!  We have the rudest 
drivers anywhere in the country.  I've seen 70 year old grandmas fly around me 
doing 90 in a 70 because I was only doing 75.  I had a woman and her child the 
other day fly up behind me while I was waiting to turn left into the school 
road, I had a car coming towards me so it's not like I could just turn and hit 
them.  The lady hit her brakes right at my bumper and started throwing her hands 
in the hair and I saw her lips say "WHAT???" and he had a questioned look on her 
face.  So I put my window down and yelled, I'm trying to turn LEFT <---- LEFT!! 
and pointed my arm to the left and waved it around a bit.  She was on a cell 
phone.  Driving for UPS is even worse.  The extreme red necks (I'm just a 
regular one, mind you), will try to drag race you from the red lights and put 
you in a serious cloud of black diesel soot.  East Texas.  When I first moved 
here my first words were, "you gotta be kidding me!"

If you come through this area on I-20, just turn your rearview mirror to one 
side so you can't see through it.  Pan your side mirrors out just enough so you 
can't see the pickup trucks behind you that will certainly give you hell during 
your entire I-20 experience.  You can make it if you ignore the road hate.
