Kermit

I take my hat off to the guy who set up a web site to report bad drivers, as we see them every day when we are out on the road with Funerals. Better Driving Please is a site where you can report inconsiderate drivers. Take today for example. A hearse and 2 limo's parked ouside church (The mourners were inside). When a white mini bus came down the road. He could not get through, so I started to get the keys to move the limo. He then started sounding his horn. I started reversing my limo about 400 yrds, with him driving almost on my bonnet trying to make me go faster. When he got past, there was no wave of thanks, in fact no acknowledgment at all. I repositioned my limo in the cortege. I then got out and went and sat with the Hearse driver. 2 minutes later, the same mini bus came back down the street, and again started sounding his horn. two of us then got out to have a quite word, and to tell him to have some respect as it was a Funeral. He was not concerned at all, even after we had told him it was a BABY'S funeral. I hope, that if he has a loved one who passes on, that he has a quieter service than our poor people did. A real 'Muppet. On a lighter note. I was very pleased to get hold of a CD with Jack Jenney on Trombone. Superb. In fact, I have figured that if I start practicing 12 hours a day for the next 50 years, then I might get to play a couple of bars like him. Mind you I would be well over a 100!!!
