And Your Car is One." data-desc="I felt especially white today so I figured it was time to quote a prominent black rapper who is dating a prominent black singer.

Now, on to that gushy gushy*.

Let's state the facts:

I commute to work.
I live in South Florida.
I sit in traffic.
I am impatient.
I am not crazy.

So, I try to quell** my impatience in trivial situations like the traffic light scenario illustrated below:

First, let me briefly describe what you just saw. You saw three white cars.

<p>Now, on to that gushy gushy*.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s state the facts:</p>
<p>I commute to work.<br />
I live in South Florida.<br />
I sit in traffic.<br />
I am impatient.<br />
I am not crazy.</p>
<p>So, I try to quell** my impatience in trivial situations like the traffic light scenario illustrated below:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1034" title="trafficlightproblems" src="http://jenmccoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/trafficlightproblems1.jpg" alt="trafficlightproblems" width="466" height="180" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">First, let me briefly describe what you just saw. You saw three white cars.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>&#8220;Wow, THREE white cars? What are the odds of that?&#8221;</em> &#8211; You ask</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Good question. I&#8217;ve got an answer for you. Those cars are white because Microsoft Paint gave me an &#8216;F&#8217; on &#8220;creating enclosed vehicles that can be painted with one click of the paint bucket icon.&#8221; They would have had white tires too if my circles were not so much better than my square-triangle hybrids.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now, since you&#8217;re so curious. I&#8217;m going to share a little extra information about that car in front of me who missed the &#8220;Hello, if you move your car eight more feet I can continue singing dinosaur sounds with Lady G. and decrease my anxiety about the six-second turn signal we&#8217;re about to receive&#8221; memo.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">That car is a Buick Le Sabre. How do I know that? Because of a recent revelation:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1035" title="BuickLeSabre" src="http://jenmccoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/BuickLeSabre.jpg" alt="BuickLeSabre" width="470" height="434" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Also, since you are unable to see the hair color of the driver, I&#8217;m going to let you in on that secret as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1037" title="BuickLeSabreHair" src="http://jenmccoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/BuickLeSabreHair.jpg" alt="BuickLeSabreHair" width="393" height="292" />There are many more secrets I can share with you. Like the likelihood said driver&#8217;s outfit is 87% polyester and does not shrink. But if you give away the cookies for free who&#8217;s going to want the milk. Wait, everyone would, right? One second..</p>
<p><em>*Whoa. Decided to Google &#8220;gushy gushy&#8221; to see if there&#8217;s a meaning. Umm. There is.</em></p>
<p><em>**I Googled &#8220;quell&#8221; too.</em></p>
