Today as I was driving to see my Parental Units(TM), I saw a very frightening sight. Someone was driving in the same direction I was, but on the left-hand side of the road. Nearly ran head-on into a line of traffic.
I went over to my Units' house. Ten minutes later, they show up from the opposite direction, and say that this same guy was pulled over by 3 cops.
Now normally, nutty driving is not something to blog about. It's Atlanta: the drivers here are weird all of the time. But not 1/2 an hour earlier, I'd been thinking about the absolute confidence I had in those stupid painted lines on the road. I was crusing along, not 2 feet from people crusing along in the opposite direction -- and I suddenly asked, "Why is it that we're so certian that the people going the other direction aren't going to make mistakes?"
That's one that'll keep you up nights.
