Just thought of another Southern saying (well, it might be a hillbilly word that others don't use). The word I'm talking about is "count".
As in, "My steak is good, is yours any count?" I've been made fun of for that one, in this area the word "count" covers the phrase "is it any good?" or "how is it". Anybody else know what I'm talking about?
"He painted my car". "Oh really? Is he any count?"

Was riding around in the 500 yesterday, glanced down at the gauge cluster and saw something that made me chuckle. The fuel gauge was right in the middle between half tank and 3/4 tank, and the info center said 118 miles to empty. 
Guess that means I'm driving like it should be driven, lol.

Funny you say that, I almost didn't. Came really close to meeting my maker that day. Was riding down a 2 lane country road minding my own business when I notice an older Explorer coming toward me going the opposite direction.
He was really close to the center line and as he got closer, he started crossing it into my lane. It was a long straightaway and I kept thinking he would pull back into his lane.
He didn't. He kept coming farther over into my lane. I was doing about 60 and started moving over to the right and getting on the brakes, still thinking he would move back over, well he didn't. Just kept coming farther into my lane, and I had a big Dodge 4X4 right up my **** too, as if I needed more **** going on.
Keep in mind, this is all happening at speed, this whole thing took place over the course of about 10 seconds.
By this time, I realize that this ****er isn't going to correct. I'm over as far as I can go, literally with the edges of the tires off the pavement, a few inches more and I would have been off on the side of the road with a big 5 foot deep ditch there.
By this time, I'm laying on the horn with one hand and holding the wheel with the other, getting ready to put it in the ditch. He is literally dead center of the yellow line, half of his Explorer in my lane and me over as far as possible.
I'm looking at him and just as I suspected, hes holding his phone and staring at it doing something, texting, facebooking, whatever.
And then we pass. There was literally inches between us as we went by each other. So close that if our vehicles were the same height, our mirrors would have hit each other.
Now I'm still holding the horn down, his window are down, and this ****er never looked up from that goddamned phone. Was still in the opposite lane when I looked back in my rearview mirror. If that truck hadn't been behind me, I would have whipped it around right there in the road, chased his *** down and had a serious conversation with that son of a *****. ****ing idiots.

Anyone ever seen the movie Taking Chance? Its on HBO this weekend for Memorial Day. So freaking sad, but induces so much pride at the same time.
To our Veterans that enabled us the privilege to have a chance to celebrate this holiday.

Regan and Zoe tell me the seams almost happened to them today. They were on a two lane road and a truck was coming in their direction and turned left right in front if them into another side road. She had to slam in the brakes and she said she could see he was looking at his phone and never looked up. Happened about a 1/4 mile from here. If e would have hit them and I got there in time that ****er would have gone home in a body bag.
TBH, I think they need to treat that **** like a DUI, same type of punishment. I honestly would feel safer in the car with someone that was .10 on a breathalyzer (or more possibly) than someone texting and ****ing with a phone that is stone cold sober.
Some of the studies I've seen say that someone on a phone texting is 20 times more likely (don't quote me on that, but I know its somewhere in that area) to cause an accident than someone that is legally drunk (.08)
