So ... is Drive Like An Idiot Day a state, national, or international holiday? It wasn't on my calendar, so I was not mentally prepared for it yesterday (if I'd realized what day it was, I'd have arranged to stay home).

Really, even with all the craziness and plain ol' poor judgment on the roads 'round hereabouts, yesterday was especially impressive in both magnitude and frequency of idiocy. I haven't decided whether to catalogue it, 'cause hey, a driver-grousing-about-other-drivers rant, not the easiest thing to make fresh and entertaining; but it was surprisingly awful out there.

Fortunately the holiday had ended by the time I drove home in the wee hours of this morning. I'd mark it on my calendar as a day not to drive next year, but I don't know whether to mark 12 February or the second Saturday in February. (Actually, I'm thinking it's probably more of an "at random intervals" thing ... but how do I get on the announcement list without having to promise to participate?)
