We leave in the morning. Weather forcast looks good, yesterday it didn't. Rain or shine, we're off.

Would have left yesterday but my son had a dentist appointment for his braces this afternoon.

The dentist gave me some plaster casts of my son's teeth. I asked what's this for, why'd you make these? Guy said that it is for the government, if they should ask if the dental work was really necessary.

Given my history with French government systems, they'll be knocking on my door tomorrow.....

ahhh, but I should back up, there is more to the story...

no, no, I have to back up farther.........

To the begining

So I left the house with my son to go to the dentist. We're heading into town and come to a roundabout. Now you don't have these in USA, but the idea is to slow down traffic and whoever is in the roundabout has right of way and all others yield. So I enter the roundabout am turning the cirle and out from the right shoots some prick on a scooter that didn't even look my way and had no idea that I almost hit him.

This guy, that was is such a hurry to die, pulled off to the side of the road 500 yards later. As I passed I yelled out "watch what the fuck you are doing asshole" in english.

So I'm driving and the prick comes up behind the car, then passes the car, and I give him the finger.

Then he stops his scooter in front of me and starts yelling "you have a problem with me? huh? you have a problem with me?" I yell back, yes I have a problem with you, you drive like an asshole, I could have killed you or you could have killed others entering the roundabout without looking if there was other traffic.

"you have a problem with me? huh? you have a problem with me?"

aw fer chrissakes "NO, YOU NOW HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME" and I got out of the car. he hopped back on his scooter and got the hell out of there.....

Moral of that story is don't fuck with me when I have to take my son to the dentist for an appointment I never scheduled at a time that is inconvenient for me. Ex-wife took the appointment.....
