I could drive all day to everywhere.

I have a passion for driving. I love to be going places. I can’t stand to stay in my house for an entire day– I have an insatiable need to be going. Just going. I don’t need a destination or a time frame. I just need to be heading somewhere.

Before gas became so expensive I would hop into my car and just leave. Sometimes I would end up in some neat places. The Katahdin pass in NH. Profile Falls. I once saw a really neat ice sculpture. Other times I would just turn around and go home.

The point of my trip wasn’t to go somewhere. It was to just go.

and go fast. Not kill myself fast. But fast according the state of Vermont justice system.

I need a radar detector. The strip of highway from my house to work has become a minefield of radar guns. I’m scared to go my normal 7-10 over.

I have a problem with traffic tickets. I feel that the police should have better things to do than penalize me for driving quickly. There’s such a huge drug problem in this country. A huge violence problem. A huge theft problem. There are so many other ways that the police could be useful…

and yes. I agree that in school zones and residential communities should be protected from reckless drivers.

but dammit. fuck the speed limit.
