It's all good fun until you start blowing snot rockets while walking.

Somehow I just have this image of BD with his hands out in front like he's on the hoods and he's zipping through the walkers on the sidewalk when he did this

I had to drive for the first time in a month and tried to take the same route as I usually do.......including the MUP. I caught my self, but I did slow and begin to turn; that would have been a sight a full sized truck cruising threw the park.

Saying "on your left" on your PA would be hilarious, but chances are they won't understand.

Sometimes while driving my car on my bike route, I suddenly realize I am only going 18-20mph because that is the speed I am accustomed to.
