Geriatric Drivers

So... if you have never seen any of Abe's graphic design projects you should definitely ask her to let you browse her portfolio. The reason I brought this up, today in particular, is for my close encounter with a "geriatric driver" this morning. My favorite piece by Sara was a postage stamp she created last year that could be designed to support any cause . Her stamps supported the end of "geriatric driving" and pictured these HILARIOUS little old ladies and men hunched over behind the wheel of their oversized cars. You have to see them to get the full effect of the joke.

Anyways this morning, not even 5 minutes from my home, I nearly nailed an old couple in their oldsmobile after they slamed on their brakes to turn into a barber shop parking lot in old Bartlett. To make things worse, granny had a cigarette lit up in her hand while she was driving.

Now, I love my grandmothers, don't get me wrong; but at some point you just shouldn't be driving anymore. It doesn't help things either that it seems all good grandparents over 65 tend to drive luxury edition tanks that they can't even park.

Here's to hoping I am never a geriatric driver myself (although, I already drive an oldsmobile, I guess I'm practicallly there) ;)
