Friday Fragments #9 -- Life in the Fast Lane
Dear Person Driving 45 mph in the HOV Lane,Please note that everyone in the main lanes aka the slow lanes or the traffic lanes are passing us. They are passing us with gusto. Now you may have considered the big concrete barriers to be your own personal safety lane creating a bubble between you and all those pesky drivers who want to drive freeway speeds but you would be wrong. Please utilize the handy pedal on your lower right (known to most as the accelerator) and at least keep pace with the traffic lanes. And as we are passing the speed limit sign this slowly, you should be able to read that the sign clearly says 65.Thank you.Sincerely,The Very Frustrated (and Soon-to-be-Late) Driver Behind You******************************************************************************Do you remember the Eagles song, "Life in the Fast Lane"?Life in the fast laneSurely make you lose your mindLife in the fast lane, everything all the timeLife in the fast lane, uh huhThat's how I've been feeling lately. This summer has become a very fast blur that now has disappeared almost completely. I really need to slow down but I see none of that on the horizon. (Yes, I know it's ironic that I need to slow down but I am angry at the car in front of me for going slow. They are welcome to slow down -- just not in front of me! LOL) Today is my last day of work but the kids go back to school in ten days. TEN DAYS!!! Where, oh where did the lazy days of summer go?So, as I'm in the fast lane, this is my fast version of Friday Fragments. Have a great Friday. Slow down and listen to the music, why don't you?Check out the lovely Mrs. 4444 all the the other fun Friday Fragments!
