Rain Makes Drivers Crazy in LA

Cannot Resist posting an instant message conversation from this morning. I'm M.

. . . . . . . . . . .

09:02:00: M:   Did you get lots of rain?

09:02:19: R:   Was crazy.  

09:02:26: M:   Ooh, sorry!
09:02:38: M:   I kinda lucked out, not too many dumb folks on my roads.

09:03:34: R:   Took the canyon. Parked on Sierra Hwy, guys in the car in front of me got in a fight amongst themselves.
09:03:46: R:   that spilled out onto the street, and then got back in....

09:03:49: M:   In the car?
09:03:51: M:   Good lord!

09:03:58: R:   was entertaining.

09:03:59: M:   That's, um, awesome.

09:04:32: R:   in a lock the doors, get the cell phone ready to record, plan an escape sort of entertaining way...

09:04:44: M:   Crap. You're right.....
09:04:49: M:   to be prepared in that fashion.
09:04:58: M:   Glad you're good.  :-)

09:05:56: R:   Completely parked in.  If they had attacked me, I would have sat there unless they actually broke a window.  Then I would have pinned them against another car.

09:06:12: M:   I believe it.
09:06:23: M:   But they got back into their own car after a while?
09:06:27: M:   Or did one guy take off?

09:07:03: R:   Driver and passenger swapped seats. Former driver spent some time beating on the guy in the back seat before getting in.

09:07:24: M:   speechless.
09:07:55: M:   That is just about as crazy a story as when your engine caught fire.

09:08:08: R:   Yes.
