Freaks and Geeks

Dropped off Noe today.Coming back there was a Prius ahead of us.I started looking for decals-we have a few, none too blatant.
But generally this specific brand seems to be associated with a certain bunch of outliers who recycle any and everything that looks remotely recyclable, compost their dead parents because it is the right thing to do, use renewable energy whenever possible, KNOW global warming is to blame for everything wrong in the world-including Ahmadinejad hugging Chavez's mom, visit year round farmer's markets -year round, have a CSA subscription, are tree huggers, eat pasture fed and finished animals, love kale, solar panel their roof, wear hemp(smoke it too?), vote Obama, are members of PETA,GreenPeace......Which obviously means they follow traffic rules to the T? No?
This guy refused to merge when the lane he was in ended and went a good hundred feet before he inserted himself forcibly between two vehicles and sped off.Surprise!Surprise!He was just ahead of me on the left turn lane and did not bother turning his turn signal on and when the light changed he was off-almost 10 miles above the speed limit.Then he changed lanes in front of me and as usual did not use his turn signal lights and off he went again!Not the sedate,I-care-about-the-world kind of guy, it seemed.
Since we live close to the Intel campus I was hoping to see him turn into one of their entrances,but no he kept going and I had to make a turn to drive home and lost sight of him in the process.There are a couple more entrances to Intel left and I hope he did turn into one of them.Why?Just to prove that Prius owners aren't as kooky as they seem!There is this show called"Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me" on PBS and there was a hilarious bit about why you should not date women who drive a Prius and I went,"Really,are they that off-the-wall?"
This guys restored my belief that a car need not necessarily be an extension of you.And that you can be a bit of everything. And you can drive a Prius and still be normal like the vast majority of supposedly normal people!!
