This is for the young man in the cherry red 'tuner' that was driving about a
mile of the same road I was driving about half an hour ago.  We went
through five intersections with stop lights.  Right?  And when you got to
each of those intersections the light was red. Right?  And I pulled up next
to you after you had been stopped for several seconds. Right?  And as the
light turned green you peeled out and shot down the road only to have to
slam on the brakes at the next red light. Right?  But did you notice that I
only had to slow down a little and never had to stop for the red light
because I got there just as the light turned green?  You just didn't realize
(or were to dumb to catch on, whatever applies) that the traffic lights
along that arterial are sequenced so that if you travel at the speed limit
they will turn green just before you get there!   We started off side by
side and ended up side by side.  So thanks for the entertainment and I was
glad to travel with you and watch you get worse gas mileage than my '90
Westy with auto tranny.
