3 Construction Sites

I met with three construction sites today. They were not long standing ones. These just popped up this morning. Suddenly all this work needs to be done.

I guess with the unofficial start of summer happening this weekend...summertime work is now starting...

Warm day today...a little chill in the air this morning...but still high 50s..

Chilling Reminder

Just in time for prom season and graduation, there is a car that has been plunked down on the front lawn of a school entrance (I think it's a side entrance for the high school). The car appears to be in a horrible accident. It's all banged up and ruin. It's circled with police tape and it has a sign next to it that states, "Don't Drink and Drive."

Yeah, that kinda makes it clear.

Bikes and Scooters

Lots of bikes and scooters on the road. It was sorta comical. They were in the way mostly...holding up traffic. Most of the riders had smiles on their faces as if they knew that they were in the way. They didn't care.

It's Friday!

In My RearViewMirror

Just a PJ reference for ya.

Now you gotta figure out what I mean by PJ.

Anyway, I was looking in my rearview mirror and I noticed that the same car followed me from the moment I pulled into the main road to Bedford Center. That's a stretch of 10 miles or so. Is it weird that sometimes people have the same paths...and it is only apparently when you by chance meet on the roadways.

We are more connected than we realize, I suppose.

Today I Saw

A girl who rode her bike and screamed down the hill.

The price of gas is still going up.

A car that pulled out in front of me and I restrained myself from getting angry.

Pockets of traffic that I wish would go away.

Sometimes It's True

I have always liked the slippery when wet signs. The squiggly lines always looked cool. But I never really believed those signs...I always felt they exaggerated the peril.

Although the road I was driving on this morning didn't have a sign suggesting you should be careful when the roadway is wet, it should have.

I was behind a long line of cars...stopping frequently because of a school bus. When I braked, my rear wheels slid.

See! Slippery When Wet!

I had a scare that was about 1.3 seconds long...but enough to remind me that I need new tires.

Just add it to the list of things I need to buy.

Gas price is up again. Boo.

Gas Prices On A Cloudy Day

Finally the gas price went up. It was holding steady under 2 bucks for a while...

I think they finally had to give in.

Boo.

Happy Friday?

Fox 25 was broadcasting live from the town common today. It didn't cause too much of a ruckus. It didn't impede my driving.

I looked over but I couldn't see too much of what was going on. Meh.
