I normally write about my art and art related things

so this is a bit of an aside,

Everyone thinks they are above average drivers, and the person who drove past me tonight a little before 9 PM probably thinks that of him or herself.

I didn’t see the driver, mostly because my first notice of the car was being highbeamed when slowing for yellow light. The light turned red, and the driver behind me, in a Land Rover, crossed the double yellow line, entered the oncoming traffic lane and drove through the red light. Driving around late at night I have seen all sorts of bad driving that no one would do during the day, but this was somewhat amazing. The obvious lack of concern for others. There probably was a good reason for this bad behavior, a movie starting, a party to get to, important stuff.
