Green Means Go
I am completely befuddled by the fact that everyone in this town just sits, immobile, when a light turns green at an intersection. I am not kidding or exaggerating, when I say that this happens EVERY single time I sit behind someone at a red light.
In LA, and NY, drivers are already halfway through the intersection when the light turns green, which albeit totally unsafe, allows you to get to your destination on time. It seems like everyone here is either too stoned, too busy picking that deeply embedded booger, or hasn't quite learned the simple fact that "green means go".
Thanks to this Portland driving phenomenon, and the fact that I got to tail every octogenarian in the state of Oregon, a trip to my friend's house for a playdate with our kids this morning took almost 45 minutes. We live less than 7 miles away from each other. Have mercy.

Maybe they believe the punchline,...
"my brother could be coming". Do you know that one?

Here's the joke, ModelMom
A man was going to take his driving test for the first time. He and the instructor start out, and the man is handling the car very well. They come upon a light, which turns yellow, and suddenly the man accelerates through, just after the light has turned red.
The instructor's eyes get big, and he asks "Why did you do that?"
The man replies "Because my brother does it all the time."
So they drive some more, and once again, they're coming up to a light that's already yellow, and the guy guns the engine, the light turns red, but the driver goes through it anyway.
The instructor is incredulous, but the guy looks at him and says "Yeah, my brother does that also."
Finally they come to a red light. The light turns green, but the driver doesn't drive. The instructor asks "What's wrong?"
The guy says "My brother could be coming."
And there you go!
