Maybe I Shouldn't Be Telling You This...

I'm an early riser. Usually up at 3:30/4:00 am. Unfortunately, my wife and daughter don't share my delight in the early mornings. Meaning that they like to sleep and I can't make any noise nor turn on any lights. What to do? What to do? I know I'll go to the 24hr gym and see who else is working out at 4am. The best part of going to the gym is that here in Tampa at 4am all of the traffic lights are set on sensors and as soon as you pull up to the intersection the light changes to green and off you go. The problem? And I know I discussed this in an earlier blog, but it happened again this morning. As I was approaching an intersection this morning a car pulled up at the cross street and my light changed to red forcing me to stop. The light turns green for the car at the cross street and they don't move. And don't move. And don't move. They have the green light. So now I'm looking closer and I can see their face in the blue glow of the smartphone. So I toot my horn. No response. I beep my horn. No response. I honk my horn and now they look up and into their rearview mirror. Don't see anyone and go back to the phone. Now I'm really honking. They check the mirror again and then look around confused as to who might be honking at them and why. Then they look at the traffic light which has been green for at least a minute and they slowly drive through the intersection still looking at their phone. This is why I am NOT allowed to carry a gun in the car.
