To deal with reality
you must first recognize it as such. Laurence Gonzales, 2003 |
The truck slips between the two vehicles to the right. Fast exit from the middle lane of the freeway at 75 mph. Dangerous ballet. The car moves from middle lane to left on the divided city street. Then slows approaching the intersection. 8:30 at night, he moves past the intersection is clearly searching, drifts into the opposite direction left turn lane. Slows more, looking to turn left at the "no left turn" entrance. Blocks me going on, blocks oncoming left turn lane. Traffic passes, he does a U-turn as I speed on and away. I make my left turn, there's a pickup ahead of me, slow moving. A small car next to it. The truck finally moves to left lane behind car. The car shifts to right lane ahead of me as we approach traffic light. Car slows. Car's brake lights on as it moves through the light turning yellow. I signal a right turn at the next light. The car ahead goes on. No brake lights showing. I get home. Pickup the new book on the seat. "Deep Survival - Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why" Go in. |
