Yesterday I got stuck in traffic on the interstate for an hour. It wasn't moving because there was an accident seven miles ahead. Normally I check the traffic report before entering the interstate, but it was a last-minute decision to get on the highway due to there being a traffic tie-up on another road. By the time the interstate finally cleared, people were getting out of their vehicles to look around or walk their dog. I saw one woman borrow some Kleenex tissue from another motorist. I was glad I had water and a snack with me.
There have been more accidents than usual lately. Some drivers have no patience, or drive too fast, or look at their phones. I-81 has heavy truck traffic so accidents are often serious and slow to get cleared.
Although I have not done any long-distance travel in a long time (thanks, Covid,), I drive around locally, although not as much as I did before gas prices got so high. (Thanks, Putin!) Often I snap a picture of something that I want to share. Here we have a drawing on a walkway, a bumper sticker, and a couple of signs.
"Enjoy being."

I like that last sign.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of signs and messages. Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteIf high gas prices help to unclog the highways, it's not such a bad thing!
ReplyDelete...I don't enjoy driving I-81 in the New York State.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if life gives us just so many backed up interstate events, like a limited number of say, splinters, or mosquito bites. It would be nice to know...
ReplyDeleteThe yardstick sign made me laugh. :)
