RRW: Confessions of a traveler in the fast lane

'Patience I just don't have' - he writes

By Ralph Roy Waggener
Commentary from editor & publisher of Just for a Smile News

On the traffic problems in Columbia: I'm one of the problems because "I'm in a hurry and don't know why" - always have been and most likely always will be.

People driving slow bother me; I know I should be laid back, but I'm not wired that way.

I constantly look for ways to do a job easier or faster; don't know why. but I do. Slow just bothered me and I know slow people have as much right as I have to be in a rush.



Cousin Bob Chelf told me he could cure me of "Road Rage," but then continued to tell me about having to stop when he was just a few feet to being able to go on when a wreck on I-65 stopped him again.

We have so much traffic now, anywhere you go. Anywhere you happen to be, you will find yourself waiting more than going, and that's something I'm not good at.

So I know I'm a problem as well as the slow people and I don't seem to be able to slow down, any more than slow people can speed up.

I'm trying to adjust, but it's just not in me to change to slow!

Even the 1 minute wait at the 206/55 stop light still seems like 2 hours to me.

Patience I just don't have.

The confessions of a fast lane person.

Thanks, /s/ Ralph Roy Waggener. (Aways in a hurry and I don't know why.)
