As I turned into the road that takes me past the casino to the hotel this morning, I was driving in the left of two lanes, passing a van. I tend to drive rather rapidly, you know. This road has four lanes, two on either side of a wide, grassy median. I glanced at my rear-view mirror, then looked ahead...into the eyes of the little old lady who was merrily driving in my lane, GOING THE WRONG WAY.
I quickly moved into the right lane, deeming it far too early in the day to play chicken. Plus, those little old ladies can be ruthless. I didn't want to risk it.
At least the shot of adrenaline to my system woke me up quite nicely.
I just thought of that scene from Plains, Trains and Automobiles.
ReplyDeleteYou're Going the Wrong WAYYYY!
Give me a call tomorrow if you're around, I'm home sick (just a bug, nothing really) and am just hanging around.
Will do, B.! I'll be at work, but it looks to be a slow day.
ReplyDeleteWoof... Glad you're okay! Hopefully the little old lady is too!
ReplyDeleteI actually did that once, turned the wrong way down a 1 way street just after taking my SAT's.
ReplyDeleteTalk about scary!
