Driving in Portland

is not like driving in Chicago ... or California ... or New York. The people here have the serious slows. This is not necessarily a bad thing ... apparently the accident rate is pretty low ... but being someone who learned to drive in Chicago ... I just can't stand it. It is not at all uncommon here for people in the left lane to drive 50 MPH (in light/moderate traffic). Merges make them slow down ever more. Anyway ... I could rant about this more (and I do to Janel whenever I have to drive), but will close it off here. Just remember ... if you ever come to visit ... don't be surprised if you find yourself drifting into a state of road rage :).
