I don't know about the rest of you, but when I get in my car to go home after work, I'm excited to hear NPR's hour-long wrapup of the Judge Roberts hearings. I'll miss them now that they are all over.
But on my way to work today, I realized they have a relevance in my own life that I had not yet appreciated.
Roberts likes to talk about being a modest judge. I realized this morning that I am a modest speeder.
Yes, I drive well above the "legal limits." However, I don't behave as some speeders, acting like the road belongs to me. I figure that since I am the one disobeying the law, I should always be the one to yield. I should be polite, avoiding passing on the right or hogging the fast lane from those even quicker. I strive to be the most exact in legal obeisance when it come to things like using my blinkers or coming to complete stops at stop signs.
I, Theric, am a modest speeder.
Thank you.
Yes, I noticed your modest speeding when I was trying to follow you around Devil's Cliff (or whatever it's called) and Foxy J was gripping the door handle like her life depended on it.
ReplyDelete(Lest you worry, you are not a difficult driver to follow... except when you go through red lights or make last-second crazy lane changes, each of which you only did once over the course of three days).

ReplyDeleteI can safely blame those on Lady Steed's navigation, I think.
Oooh! Can I be a modest jaywalker? I try to cross when the cars are all backed up a stoplight, so it's like walking through a parking lot except that it's illegal, and if I see a car coming, even if it's a good distance away, I'll run, so the driver doesn't have to worry they'll run me over.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I like where this is going: modest liar, modest thief, modest adulterer...
ReplyDeleteSoon you will be modestly slaughtering small nations, and all because you let yourself speed "modestly."
modest terrorist, modest neo-Nazi, modest Democrat, modest devil-worshipper . . .

ReplyDeleteWell, it's finally happened. My First Spam.
Here come's the blocker.
I hope you're not referring to my good friend darrelbrinick6716. I refer him to your blog, he tells you he likes it, and you insult him by calling him spam. Sheesh!

ReplyDeleteIf you hang out with the likes of darrelbrinick6716, I may have to rethink this entire fob thing.....
