Ever have someone do this? It has happened to me a couple of times lately. You are behind a car an they are turning right into a driveway, they are taking their time so you decide to pass them, suddenly they veer far to the left making a very wide right turn in a small car. So in essence they are tuning as an 18 wheeler would, annoying!

That is what we used to call fake left turn right or vice versa, good football move but lousy driving.

I find it to be a bit annoying when I see people's post of fish they catch where they are holding the fish for a photo op before releasing it. I also see this frequently on fishing shows.
It is my understanding that touching a fishes body should be avoided to increase survival rates? If I am catching and releasing I use a barbless hook and many times just a slack line with allow the fish to release itself. That failing I can usually grab the hook and twist it and it will come out. As a last resort I will secure the fish by the jaw with one hand and remove the hook with the other.
But, I suppose photos are more important to some than fish survival.

Correct, sir.
Because the resource in my favorite river has been hammered almost to the point of extinction, I very rarely bother even with "catch and release" up there. If I do drop a line in the water, it's a #00 Colorado spoon behind a #8 egg hook with the barbs all pinched down, on 2-pound test leader and 4-pound line - really levels the playing field.

Cars parked nearly halfway out in the road by Lake 22....drove by there today, light rain but more cars than I can ever remember seeing, not sure what the occasion was?

Lol, probably not, they looked like leftists to me. Don't ask me what I think "leftists" look like, I won't answer.
