Lots of weaving, lane-changing, etc. going on. Lots of
frustrated drivers trying to break out of the mess. Up front is a red
corvette with cruise control set about 67ish (in a 65). In the LEFT lane,
of course. Several people pass him on the right, but right lane traffic
isn't going much faster, so this takes a long time. Thus the backup. At
one point, traffic was stuck behind this corvette backed up probably a half
mile or better. While I was stuck in this mess, we passed several signs
reading "Keep Right Except to Pass". Finally got close enough to read the
plate, it was vanity plate "ANOMALY". Nope, sorry buddy, you're just an
average MFFY, nothing out of the ordinary.

Did you get a look at the driver? My bet is he was well over age 65,
probably wearing a hat.

That's the sad thing about Corvettes: they're so expensive now that
they've become a status symbol for wealthy geezers - either they want
to indulge in some conspicuous consumption, or they want to recapture
some of their lost youth. These old geezers drive like, well, old
geezers - a complete waste of a nice, fast car.

The ANOMALY is undoubtedly that this doddering old Sloth has managed
to survive this long without causing a fatal accident.

The new geezer-mobile? Guess he couldn't handle a Cadillac.
