0:07.0	If you live in Miami, you may have some interesting thoughts around how people drive here.
0:18.0	I think people often complain about the traffic, the drivers wherever they are.

0:28.7	But I have noticed in Miami that there does seem to be almost like a certain recklessness or the way that people
0:35.0	drive they speed a lot they don't indicate when they're changing lanes I've
0:39.7	even noticed when visitors come who aren't from Miami or aren't from the US often they're like

He's like, don't indicate me. Of course he's just saying it in our car. But I notice it and I look at him and I simply smile.
2:03.0	All right, why?
2:05.0	Why am I smiling?
2:06.0	Why am I not saying, oh whatever, like let it go, like, la la la
