just at dusk - with a thunderstorm breaking hard overhead. First rain we've seen here since April - and it was having an effect on the bunch of cars I found myself surrounded by. So at first - while I did hear the anxious horn honking from behind me, I didn't give a thought to the notion it might be aimed at me. I mean - I had my lights on, had my wipers going, couldn't sense a flat tire or the like so I just ignored it as the light went green and traffic started to surge ahead again.
Then I see outta the corner of my right eye - there's a car keeping pace with me and he's honking and hollering at me simultaneously. Maybe my tail lights are out - maybe something's dragging under my car - so I try to listen to him over the hiss of tires on wet pavement...... "GO Bernie! I LOVE your stickers man. Go Bernie Go!" He was getting soaked with his window down and his cupped hand trying to amplify his message. Another 20-something believer in this blood red district of California. Those Bernie 2016 stickers get noticed wherever I go around here.
