The 11th Commandment

Yes, I'm really just looking for an excuse to post in my blog. I admit it. But today, driving home from work on a frustratingly longer-than-it-should-have-been holiday-week kind of day, I came across a guy in a white car with the license plate "KGJMESB." It took a minute, but I realized the reference to the King James Bible. The guy drove north on Arroyo Parkway (Route 66, so I can tie this into historic roads) before then heading east on Green. And all the while, he swerved around traffic a few times, sometimes suddenly and seemingly without caution, in an attempt to speed up his arrival at home. And he never really got that far in front of me.

Which made me think of a slogan I've seen in Route 66 circles before:
Leave Earlier
Drive Slower
Leave Longer

Than slogan can be, to my knowledge, attributed to Bob Waldmire, traveling artist, and a great friend that I haven't seen in far too long.

And I think that slogan should be the 11th Commandment. Especially for those that read the King James Bible and drive in Pasadena. And I hope that he reads this.
