Idiots in the rain

Rainy morning in the neighborhood The idiot coming back from being over the yellow line
It's been raining hard since midnight. There's flood warnings everywhere around us. the upside is that it's 61 degrees and hardly any wind. The drive to work was just a little slow, so it wasn't all that bad. Had a guy cut in front of me when I was in the left-hand lane on the Northwest Tollway. The traffic was creeping, but at least it was still moving. The guy in front of me takes both hands off the wheel to brush/comb his hair. The car then veers to the left, going over the yellow line, as the guy drops his hands, jerks the wheel over and goes back to using both hands to do his hair. I haven't seen women do this on the road (I've seen makeup and maybe one-handed hair, but never two-handed hair), and this guy is just grooming away. It's brush-brush-brush - *jerk* - comb-comb-comb - *jerk* - brush-brush-brush - *jerk* - comb-comb-comb as he sways back and forth outside his lane. In the rain. Idiot. He stops that and then he starts playing with stuff on his passenger seat, not paying attention to traffic ahead of him. I couldn't tell what the heck he was doing after that since I saw him over the yellow line a couple of dozen times but he seemed to be looking forward. All I know is that I got the hell away from him and got on the Tri-State Tollway northbound...

On the way home tonight, I was punching buttons on the radio trying to find something to listen to. Now, again, here it is November 18 - a week before Thanksgiving - and I find a station playing all Christmas music. This is way too early for this. So I keep punching buttons, and I find another station playing all Christmas music!

What the hell is going on???!!!???!!!
