The left lane is for passing

Not necessarily. In many states, you can drive in whichever lane you wish, just as long as you stay in that lane and not switch around. That way, the traffic can stay in the right lane and just cruise on by you.
Of course, this is not appropriate on 2-lane roads.

Wyoming slower31-5-201(b)Law excepts "one-way streets". Effective July 1, 2005, it is illegal to block traffic moving within the speed limit by driving in the left lane for a long time. The Uniform Vehicle Code states:
Upon all roadways any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing shall be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic ...
Note that this law refers to the "normal" speed of traffic, not the "legal" speed of traffic. The 60 MPH driver in a 55 MPH zone where everybody else is going 65 MPH must move right. Contrast Alaska's rule, 13 AAC 002.50, allowing vehicles driving at the speed limit to use the left lane, and Colorado rev. stat. 42-4-1103, prohibiting blocking the "normal and reasonable" movement of traffic.
(Enforcement for failing to keep right while at or above the speed limit is variable. Toledo police have ticketed truck drivers for driving at the 60 MPH speed limit in the left lane. Police looking for criminal activity are aware of the "keep right" law and will use it as an excuse to stop a suspicious car. On the other hand, a New York judge announced that he would not convict drivers for blocking speeding traffic, People v. Ilieveski, 175 Misc. 2d 943; 670 N.Y.S.2d 1004 (Monroe County N.Y. 1998), and most police find speeding easier and more profitable to enforce.)

Man, I was spraying my yard for weeds and bugs with the 500 gallon sprayer on my tractor and had my air ride seat adjusted too stiff. Going commando like I often do outside, I bounced across a ditch just right and the boys slapped the seat like nobody's business. Now I have a friggin headache from the bug spray and my nuts hurt like a sonofabitch!

Drunken party crashers piss me off! 
So here I am, back home. Didn't even get to try the homemade ice cream, did get to have a nice swim and ate some awesome smoked Q'd chicken and ribs, and some of Roxanne's wonderful potato salad and baked beans with some of the shredded pork meat. In fact, she felt so bad about me leaving.. she packed some up for me for my dinner tomorrow.
Why I left angry? This jerk that is one of John's (Roxie's husbands) hunting and fishing buddies was there. He's always half looped anyway. He made some unsavoury comments toward me in the pool area, then wouldn't stop asking me about something that happened in the past.. I mean like 20 years ago. Then he was insisting I gave him the lowdown on a patient we have on rehab.. he wanted details.
He became belligerent and loud. John and this other guy Tony told him to knock it off, but they were half crocked as well.
Jerkface told me maybe he'd swing by my place later.
I told him if I saw his ass anywhere near my house-
A. The police would be here waiting to arrest him for driving drunk.
B. This would happen after I showed him a gun.
Silly SOB.
I wasn't the only one to leave.
Out of 20-some guests, 7 left after his little performances.
P.S.- I wasn't his only target of the evening.
He was pissing Linda off too (another friend of mine).. she said she was going to help Roxie clean up, then she was leaving as well.. so did another couple.
Always takes one ass to ruin a good time.

Thing about this guy is.. he just shows up.
I don't think he was even invited.
He and John work at the Central Soya processing plant here in town.
He's always at their house early doors drinking coffee before work and Roxie hates that!
He's there for every holiday for the free booze and food too.
It's the last time I go there for anything if he's going to be around.
The thing that pissed me off the most is that he kept bringing up the divorce between me and my ex, Wes. I told him that was in the past (that marriage ended in '97)- that I'd married a second time, for his information.
He's been married 4 times and he's in his mid 50s.
Another thing that killed me is that he was trying to argue politics and talk big (most of which was out his ass) with NONE of it making sense.
Then he was bragging about a fish he caught recently and how he'd bagged one of the biggest bucks in Ohio a few years back- which was news to most in attendance!!

Sounds like John needs to have a chat with him and explain that he is intruding on family time and being an ass. I sent a few packing for carrying on like that before. They always talk a lot of shit but they also knew I would not hesitate to drop them in a hurry if they came back.
I doubt John would have done anything even now, Bill.
He's probably still there, passed out somewhere.
He'll probably end up spending the night, and I'll hear all about that tomorrow.
They wouldn't allow him to drive drunk, so that puts my mind at ease.
I guess when two guys have been buddies that long, even the wife and friends getting ticked off doesn't matter.
Surprised Roxie hasn't called me yet to let me know what's going on.
Another thing that makes me angry is that we'd planned to ride the horses after the sun started to set and it cooled off a bit.
Oh well.

I'll be going outside at 10 sharp and watching them.
The way Gretchen is freaking out now with the neighbours setting them off, I don't think she'd appreciate going to Stadium Park with me, so Mom's gonna stay home and do what's best for the doggie.
