   “…she’s gonna hit me!”

   *Chuckle* Um, doesn’t she know you’re Jim the Realtor and you have groupies like me?…

   Hey Jim, this is your best video ever
   describing what is going on in California.
   Glad I moved to Maui long ago.
   That looked like either a Voodoo doll or “what” dangling from her rear view mirror??? It better not have been the symbol for the Hawaiian warrior
   because that wouldn’t be pono.

   Jim, get out of her way, she’s late for her drum circle!

   re: traffic lady: one more reason to pack up and move out of CA, anywhere but south!

   Given her level of rage, it’s more likely she’s late for her Tea Party rally. Hippies are mellower.

   You are looking at that lady all wrong. Have some fun with her. Either 1) Stop and put the car in reverse or 2) Stop and put the car in park. If she passes you on the shoulder then you can tailgate her. hopefully, she isn`t carrying a gun.

   That was so funny!

   swm, you forgot option 3) Slow down even more, then wave when she swerves around you and passes. And as you mentioned, hopefully she doesn’t have a gun…or know voodoo.

    I did stop the car and went back to her window, which she was happy to open, and she continued her rant. I gave her the business.

    I probably should have kept the camera rolling? Next time…..

    I’ve reflected further. This video will certainly make an appearance on JtR’s Top Ten List for 2010. If he had kept the camera rolling, it would be voted #1 unanimously…

    SD folks probably suffer worse traffic over a larger region/distances than those of us in “LA”. The 5 in particular is a cramped 6 lane deal through most of North SD county. Compare that to the 5 through most of OC, which could easily fit a subdivision in its lanes.

    JtR can get something like this to put on the back of his car, you know, to keep raging tailgaters at bay: http://www.cafepress.com/+i_do_not_dial_911_funny_gun,295023263

    Actually, this would be more apropos to JtR’s situation: http://www.cafepress.com/+in_range_bumper_sticker,35638713

    Hah, if only you kept the video running on the woman with the shrunken heads for the entire trip, what a classic it would have been!

    I’m guessing she does know voodoo and that thing hanging from her rear-view mirror, was just some poor soul wanting a little head. But I digress…

    That was a situation where a James Bond Aston Martin would come in handy – push a button and spew some oil or smoke out the back end.

    dacounselor: Maybe that’s why he’s buying those old beater trucks which will do that without pushing the button.
