No, You Turn

I still remember my dad and I jokingly saying that to each other after seeing the signs in the middle of the interstate. I was about seven at the time, and thought it was the funniest thing ever.

A very unusual sighting occurred while leaving MicroCenter today. As I drove around the building and headed for the road, a large North American truck began to swing wide as if to turn left into the parking lot. Then it kept swinging, which puzzled me. Then after just barely entering the parking lot, it went back onto the street, completing a u-turn.

(If you didn’t click on the link above before, do it now. Yes, it was one of those trucks. A complete u-turn.)

 

Wow.

I began my evening commute with a short jaunt from the office building to the interstate, then merged on to the freeway. Once there, I gradually made my way into the middle lane as I journeyed through the maze just north of my office.

Suddenly, the middle lane slowed significantly up ahead. Having a keen awareness of what was on either side of me, I merged left before the braking got to me. We went another mile. Then the left lane slowed significantly up ahead, and an opening appeared at the same time.

I spent my entire interstate commute in whatever lane was passing all the others. Unbelievable.
