I just got stuck behind the damn Santa firetruck for about a 1/2 a mile.Must have taken 15 goddamn minutes of slowly crawling along. Those goddamn helpers calling the kids over and handing out to goddamn candy canes.

It was loud and bright. It was dark everywhere in the street, but the fire engine had the spots on, so it was destroying my night vision, making it easy for me to hit any small kids stupid enough to venture out near it.

I'm going to petition my township to forbid them from using the fire engine like that. I'd bet that if the insurance company knew they were doing it and it was so dangerous the would not let them.

You guys in the sticks and the cities are so lucky, I bet they aren't stupid enough to do that out there.
