hand signals

Got finished with my meetings today a little before 4. Of courde I wanted to take a ride to the beach and over the bridge. But did the math - 4ish on a holiday weekend and head away from my destination into the heart of the city to see the beach? Yep- it didn't happen.
I just wanted to head home.  It is not a long drive but I just wanted to have it behind me.  And I know once you get past Columbia you still feel like there is so much more ahead of you.  Well actually there is - 90 minutes worth. 
So I got on the highway and was booking down the road with cruise control a little above the stated limit of 70mph.  I mean there really isnt much need to go faster than that.  You arent going to get to your destination any faster and the safety level sure goes down.  I generally take the right lane unless it is heavily occupied and then go with the flow of traffic.  I am normally aware that if I am in the left lane there may be some other idiot that thinks the speed limit is actually the minimun and may be looking to pass me.  I make it a point to try to move out of their way.  Sometimes they are not patient and dont allow for the lane change.  That generally annoys me.  But yesterday was a first.
There was a guy that came up behind me in the left lane out of nowhere.  From the looks of it - he was actively passing people at a good 10 miles an hour faster than me....  He was in an old accord or something like that - a boxy looking model.  And as he passed me he gave me the middle finger.  WHAT!!!???  It's not like I was crawling and it wasn't like he didnt come up out of nowhere.  I was shocked.  Really mister Connecticut plate driver?  Where the ehck are you going in such a hurry.  Well it appeared that when he got back in the left lane and passed the guy in the right lane ahead of me - OH he gave him the finger too?  Sadly at his breakneck speed he quickly caught up to some congestion.  I had to snicker a little.  I turly cannot stand the road ragers that hurry up and wait.  It is such bad kharma and all that....
the rest of the drive was pretty uneventful...
