Driving south down the 405 interstate. Typical heavy morning traffic with much of the congestion attributed to the ever increasing presence of moving vans, semis, tractor trailers, and those pokey commuters in their passenger vehicles who never seem to find their way into the slow moving lanes.
Over the past 3-1/2 months I’ve used commuting as one of many learning tools for improving my patience. For the most part it has been successful but at times, especially in a traffic jam, there is a need to remind myself to remain calm.
Thursday morning one particular vehicle was tying up a seemingly free flowing commute. A Mustang-type vehicle generally seen zipping down any roadway, silver in color with a forest green roof, was crawling down the middle lane.
A touch of annoyance emerged. Figured she (yes, I said “she”) must be talking on her cell phone or doing her makeup; have seen that done many a time. I changed lanes, passed this vehicle and looked to the right. The driver was a female (sorry ladies) with long blonde hair, looking downward and actually reading. Should I give her the benefit of the doubt? Maybe she was studying for a test...
No wonder there is so many accidents.
