On The Road Again

Don't want the kid on the bus, getting his arm jostled, so I'm off, to go pick him up.

Headed down the highway. I've set the cruise control at 61/62 mph. Just as I go under the Lewis Street overpass I see an unmarked State Patrol car sitting on the side of the road.

Five cars ahead of me suddenly get religion & hit the brakes. The group collectively slows to 55.

Guys?

Guys? Speed limit is 60? Could you, would you? As I start to sail into the pack...

Ahhh, never mind. I hit the decel button and, I too, slow to 55 to avoid rear ended the paranoid schizoid in front of me.

The trooper has to be having fun watching everyone freak.

Gotta love the herd mentality.
