Today’s entry is a real cliche’ grin

I’m not sure what was going on, but traffic downtown mid-day was completely insane, particularly at the merging lanes by that one church (a wedding, or, more likely, a funeral, starting there at 1pm, perhaps?). So I could choose to sit and fume or to respond in other ways….

I decided to let in the drivers who needed/wanted to merge, rather than strictly holding my place in line as I would typically have done (I even got some smiles & waves of thanks in return) & then I got on the cellphone to let my friend know that I would be late to meet her for lunch. It ended up being slower – but also a lot less stressy – than my usual (unkind?) way of handling traffic.
