Splish, splash, I drove around it!

If you're eating right now or fixin' to eat, don't read any further. I had a flash from Carol's "burnt eyes" blog today. I'm in traffic behind a large white, Chrysler. Occupied two times, white female adult driver & white male adult passenger. She appeared to be in her mid 40's with a messy, wild hair-do. The signal changed but we didn't move. The the driver pushed open her door, leaned out, and hurled on the street! Twice! I mean it gushed out with velocity that could crack a rib. Then just as quick, she sat up closing the door and drove off as she glanced down at the street. (I was thankful I'd originally stopped a car length behind her, as I do normally anyway; a carry over from police driver training.) I drove around the big glob of yuck in the street, suddenly feeling nauseous myself. Interestingly, as a cop I saw a lot of drunks throw up, none really bothered me. This one did. I watched as she suddenly changed lanes to the right and shot over to the the curb and repeat the vomit routine. In my rear view mirrors I watched a minor back-up in the traffic, obviously, others giving her wide birth. Why did I look, wasn't seeing this once enough?! It's true, we are our own worst enemy. Why do we look at the unusual & odd folks? (you know, like folks digging for gold using fingers, thumbs, etc or weird old ladies.) A truck pulled in behind her, and again, she was quickly on her way, the truck pulling back into traffic too. Maybe that was one of the few good Samaritans still out there, not one who drove past KM when he'd had problems a while back (vehicle ones).
As I drove away the nauseous subsided but it bothered me that it bothered me... I thought my years on the streets had hardened me to this. FYI, this was before lunch and I did just fine eating my Rubio's fish and steak tacos. (* police driver training tip #45. While waiting in traffic, remain back far enough from the car in front of you to see its tires on the pavement. If he stalls, or the driver pukes and doesn't drive off, you have room to steer around it. This is more efficient if you're not in a center, blocked in lane.) HAPPY MOTORING.
