Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending about an hour driving in rush hour traffic. I don't normally need to go out at this time so it got me thinking of ways I might be able to enjoy it.
1. I got to have my sunroof and windows open because I wasn't going so fast that it was too loud I couldn't hear the radio, and the breeze was quite nice.
2. How often to you get to go parade speed when you aren't actually in a parade?
3. I like to pick one car in each lane to watch to see who actually is in the fastest lane. It usually ends up that we all get there at the same time. Although it seems that the fast lane comes to more complete stops than the lane to the right of it, which was the lane I was in.
4. You get to see what kind of cars are on the road. It's good research because we will need another car someday.
5. You get to notice the surroundings more. When driving 5 miles per hour you can afford to take a look around once in a while.
6. You can concentrate on what those country singers are really singing about.
Even after all these "wonderful" things I do have to say that it gets old after about 30 minutes. My condolences to those who deal with it every day.
