the highway isn't for dancing

ever notice how you can be cruising down the interstate, just minding your own business and driving at the speed limit and everything is going just fine. you'll be passing people and people will pass you and traffic is smooth and the sky is blue. then you'll gain on a couple of cars and pass all but the last one at which point, when you get just off the rear bumper of the last one, all of a sudden the guy is pacing you. stays just ahead or even pulls away a little. so you get back in the right lane and the son of a bitch slows down. so you cruise for a bit, decide he's going to stay slow, then pull out to slowly pass him. at which point he speeds up again. and if you decide 'oh for pete's sake' and speed up enough to pass the guy and gain a little, the jerk speeds up and passes you. at that point i drop back a little and if it's obvious he's going to stay right with me, i pull off at the next rest stop and take a bathroom break. good grief! what is your problem?!
