Movember Begins - Crazy Drivers Continue - Rochester Madness

Movember Log:

Day 1 - Clean shaven.. oh I shaved in both directions, with and against the grain, just to ensure I wasn't cheating & at the optimal smoothness.

 Day 4 - The end of the week, the stubble is just amassing (although u can't really tell cause my beard is blonde as a snail who has been in the sun for a hundred days).
Day 7 - The beard has become self-aware..
 That last one was a little terminator humor for ya... guys should know what i'm talkin bout. Ha. Ha.

Now getting back to my previous post on kinds of driving, I believe I was about to describe number 2 on the list, Passive.

2. Passive - I think we're all pretty much entirely familiar with passive driving (unless you're a monster truck driver... or even just a regular truck driver really). This is straight up however you drive on any given day when your mood is between raging hot death and tranquilized like a druggy. Generally this type of driving is preferred  by all and it helps to maintain civility on the road. People often can't differentiate between passive driving, oblivious driving and old people driving so I'll take a moment to describe the subtle differences. For one thing.. you have to be old to drive like an old person. There is literally no way to fake driving like someone who's old. They're unpredictable in a very predictable way.. which makes copy-catting their moves and techniques neigh impossible. You'd probably have to be somewhere between drunk, blind, high, and experiencing extreme pain for your driving to come even close to theirs. Some signs of old people driving.. swerving (drunk), turning onto the road with little regard for other cars (blind), the ability drive & have it appear as if everything is under control, while either not looking or while leaning very close to the windshield (high), switching lanes when no lanes are present, driving in multiple lanes at once, or accelerating and decelerating on a whim (extreme pain). They might not all make sense to you just now, but you'll notice it at some point when you are stuck in front of or behind an old person. Oblivious driving is more to do with your emotional state of mind at the time than anything else, it's pretty much the young persons "old people driving". Back to passive driving... as I was saying before, generally the best kind of driving except on occasions when it ins't conducive for the situation. For example, most traffic jams/rubber necking is caused by passive drivers... they are so calm and collected that upon seeing a wreck or some kind of flashing lights they become absorbed in whats going on and not on how fast they're going. This can lead to more accidents and severe delays for you and the rest of the entire world. My example of passive driving would be when I'm cruising home and rocking out to some Adele (she's a peach - almost a gem) at the top o my lungs.

I've described a lot about Old drivers but I will go more into that on my #5 post since there still is much that could be said.

Ooohh Rochester.... instead of taking 3 hours to provide for you a blow by blow (literally) account of the weekend, I'll sum it up with some carefully chosen pictures (not of the weekend) with some captions.
