"Idjits" = idiots, and all the drivers here, young or old, no matter
what race or sex, are damn fools. Some of the stupidist maneuvers I have
ever seen in my life I have seen right here in Portland, Oregon. Oy!!
But, I must say, there is very little road rage -- the folks here may not
know how to drive worth a damn, but they are also pretty darn polite to
one another. They hardly even honk their horns at one another. ;)
Guess the niceness kinda makes up for the ineptness. :) :)
