To Beep, or Not to Beep

The Purple Dragon was driving (no flying, restricted airspace near an Air Force base) until stopped behind another car at a red light.
When the light turned green the car in front did not move.
Squinting, the Purple Dragon tried to see the other driver through the tinted windows. Were they asleep? Were they dead? Were they texting?
“Auto horns sound so aggressive and one hesitates to be rude,” mused PD. “Perhaps we need a horn with a ‘Gentle Suggestion’ setting in addition to ‘GTF Outta My Way’.”

Rocket Surgery

Florida spaceport news fascinates the Purple Dragon.
“I see that they’re trying to fix the Artemis rocket on the launch pad,” observed the PD, “in spite of the guy in the greasy overalls who keeps saying ‘Roll’er back in the garage so we can take a look at’er!’.”
“And it is Florida, so the problem is probably pythons.
“Snakes on a rocket!”
