- Different conclusions from the same facts :-) My conjecture was that when
- they can't see *anything* they dont change lanes -- into me! Minor
- (co-incidental) data point: For the first time in a few weeks, after three
- days of no rain, I had someone decide to move into my lane on 880. Saw it
- coming several hundred yards away, but... you'd think an R80RT is big enough
- to notice.
