las vegas is the new hell

for bad drivers. Driving in this town is like driving in a fucking video game - swerve to miss the exploding car on the other side of the road, avoid colliding cars on any given corner on any given day, bypass the sidewalk where a deranged man plows into 14 tourists, and don't send out your kids walking to school lest an idiot runs them down on the crosswalk just like Amanda Aragon. And yes, the exploding car I saw and felt the heat of the flames slowly creeping up from the hot pavement into the soles of my shoes as I stepped on the clutch to slowly swerve away from it and the firetruck trying to douse its wildly spreading flames was real. Just a few days ago, I witnessed some crazed woman rear end a guy with a deafening crash as I waited at a stop light. Seriously, there isn't a day that goes by without a scene of an accident - I swear everyone's neck is growing rubbery from it. Las Vegas is great attraction for drivers who can't drive or they simply drive here to keep city population down.
