Yesturday, on my way to work while driving across Lake Washington I noticed this guy weaving in and out of traffic on the 520 floating bridge. He was tailgating and switching lanes like he was playing a video game on fast forward. Anyway, the point is that's not why he deserves a beat down. He deserves a beat down because his license plate is "PHATDDY".
Sorry, I didn't get the plate which was on the back, but I think I did a damn fine job taking this photo considering a) I wasn't looking when I took it b) I wasn't looking when I took it and c) refer to a and b.
what a tool.

what the hell is a floating bridge?
phatddy was in a hurry because he needed to pick up his viagra prescription.
and that was a great picture for not looking. most of the shots i take when i just point the camera out the window and shoot end up being of the door. when i do get the rear view mirror the image is of the ground/sky/wrong car/whatnot.

A floating bridge is one built on pontoons, it really floats on the water. I believe it was supposed to be temporary for Lake Washington, but, well it's been half a century now.
There are two over Lake Washington. And the pictures on that link aren't half as good as sprizee's here.

That's definately a skillful shot, you like those mirror pics don't you?
And, I did not give you permission to post my picture!

There are actually three floating bridges on the lake -- I-90 has one for each direction of traffic.
