Yesterday coming back from grocery shopping in my car, I came from behind Publix Grand Traverse headed east into the RB at Powell. A car, travelling north on Powell blew into the RB at 40-45 mph about 10 feet in front of me, and after slamming on the brakes and leaning on the horn, I received stereo one finger salutes from driver and passenger. A little peeved, I made sure I caught up to them at the light at 44A, and asked if they knew what a yield sign meant. They, in turn, called me a "racist". I'm not sure what traffic control has to do with racism, but I couldn't resist. I told them "Yes, I am. I hate all Japanese cars!!!" At least I'm pretty sure these individuals were not Villagers (nor snowbirds, nor renters). I hope they made it to their destination in one piece.
