Between a Blog and a Hard Place
Alright, this is really hard. When I was imagining this blog I had TONS of ideas and now my mind is blank.
Here's something that's really been bugging me. Why is it that no one seems to know the traffic rules of circles? As a former resident of DC, I was very used to circles and knew that the cars in the circle have the right of way. Well, my three mile commute to the jobsite contains a circle and NOBODY gets the rule! Everyone is always stopping in the circle to let someone in or waits to be waved through from the other person waiting to go into the circle. This drives me nuts!!! Much like people who can't make a left turn on to K Street, it's not that hard!
That just came to me this morning on my drive in but it's been bugging me for over a year. I'll try to come up with something more interesting later.

I hear ya - it's not that hard to get anyway, not sure why everyone doesn't get it, especially if they actually live somewhere with a circle. I *might* grant a "get out of jail free" card to a tourist, but come on - once you've done it once, it should be pretty darn easy.

To confuse matters, there are different rules in different states. I don't remember where I was, but the "circle" or rotary, or whatever the hell you want to call it had the "Yield" in the CRICLE! That's right! The people coming into the circle had the right of way. What's up with that?!
Just a thought to get your creative juices flowing... Ok. Don't be gross... :)
I thought you were writing a novel...
Maybe do a quote of the day/week from your novel... ???
