. I think it has something to do with the heat. People are crazy here. When the left turn arrow changes to red it is not unusual to see 4 or 5 more cars go through it, add that to way too many people in an area too small. It is flusterating to sit through 4 or 5 light cycles at each light when they are 1 mile apart. It is no excuse but that is the way it is. I have noticed that the bike rides seem to be more responsible here. Most here do not say "pardon me" what they do say will make a sailor blush(if they are not shooting at you. crazydave(who stops at red lights) _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
