LEARN TO DRIVE

Do they not have Lasik in Missouri or is everyone there simply a horrible, horrible driver?  Either way, I think more advanced eye surgery perhaps requiring a laser would be a valuable addition to the welfare of the people of Missouri.  Lasik in Missouri would only help the people see better and then they could drive well.  Well, theoretically, they would drive well.  There’s no accounting for a large grouping of people who just don’t know the proper rules of the road or don’t care about their fellow drivers.  I graduated from college last summer and before I went out into the real world to find a real job I went on a massive cross-country road trip.  Somehow, I found time to fit in all 48 of the continental United States and I’m quite proud of that.  Yet, Missouri had the worst drivers I’d ever seen.  I was dodging cars left and right out on the highways and in the towns and cities.  They seemed to all have grown used to each other and could instinctually avoid each other.  I, obviously, couldn’t.  I think I hit my horn so many times that it broke, but everyone just laughed at me.  Some people, I swear, just don’t care about outsiders or visitors.
