If you are like me and hate to use maps then there is a solution that won’t burn a hole in your pocket. A cheap car GPS can be purchased for a few hundred dollars and mounted to the dashboard in your car. You can type in the destination address and have the device provide driving instructions. There are no messy maps involved and it is ideal for people who are directionally challenged or don’t have time to read maps.
How come traffic lights are always red as I reach them, when traffic lights are only red one half of the time? I can play Megabucks and get better odds than that. I read an article once that said to make use of otherwise wasted time. I have waited at so many red lights I have completed two crocheted afghans, grocery lists to the year 2010, and eight chapters of my autobiography. What the city doesn’t seem to realize is I have places to go. At least at stop signs you’re so busy looking for approaching cars you forget you are stopped. With red lights there is no doubt.
When I was a new driver and didn’t bring anything to pass the time, I waited by singing to the radio (provoking unhappy glances from other motorists; wiping the dust off the dash; counting the swipes of my windshield wipers (causing the same drowsiness as counting sheep); or biting my dead cuticles. Then the light would change to green, and I’d hear a honk from the car behind me and I’d be off again..to the next red light. The days that I am the busiest the red lights seem to multiply like rabbits. Not only the hurrier I go, the behinder I get, but also the longer I don’t go, the farther I don’t get. Change darn it, change!
