I&#8217;m okay with the stings and speed traps, IF [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Made a drive to Bloomington yesterday afternoon, and told my son on the phone as I was heading up the hill towards Morton, &#8220;I&#8217;ll bet I run into Illinois&#8217; finest here in a few minutes.&#8221; And right on cue, there they were, four Illinois State Police cruisers, all with cars pulled over in the westbound [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I head to Bloomington tomorrow, I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing if the Illinois Highway Patrol will be making their fourth straight Saturday evening appearance on that treacherous stretch of I-74 between Morton and three miles east of Morton.Â  You know the stretch I&#8217;m talking about, the completely flat, completely straight, pretty much excellent visibility [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When did it become okay to just cruise along with your brights on with no regard for oncoming traffic? It happens to me mostly on interstates and divided highways, but that doesn&#8217;t make it any less rude. 
Dim your lights, you&#8217;re not the only freakin&#8217; car on the road.
There are only four types of people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t you just love it when you come up behind someone dutifully rolling along right at the speed limit (&#8221;good for them&#8221;, you think, &#8220;but I gotta go&#8221;), and then speed up the moment you try to slip past them?
I just love that.
Then, when you get by and set your cruise at 63 or 64 [...]]]></description>

I have had a few close-calls (but no &#8220;near misses&#8221;, nothing that serious) in the last decade, but they&#8217;ve all been caused by someone else (idiot running stop sign, idiot not using turn signal, idiot not paying attention [...]]]></description>
