Every once in a while, instead of
turning at my designated turn, I will continue on the road I’m on just to see
where it goes. Sometimes I have missed
my designated turn. Sometimes I have
been rerouted by construction. Such was the case this summer.
Sometimes there is just no way around
the construction. One is doomed to hit it sometime during his or her
commute. I still have my hang-ups with railroadtracks and crossing over bridges. But
unless I take the freeway, there is just no way to avoid the train tracks.
I
can’t take the freeway, though. For one thing,
I truly believe my car will fall apart if I attempt to make it go more than
50. And that would have not helped with
the construction situation at all – as I would still have to get off to get to
mom’s street and house.
So whether intentional or not, I found an alternate
route between mom’s house and mine. I
cross three sets at present. Sometimes I have to wait for the same train at two
different crossings.
I also cross three
bridges. Only one makes me freak
somewhat. The other two are small – like
two cars long. But the one that goes up
and over and around – it’s winds and curls around and one cannot see to the
other side while crossing. But it beats
school traffic.
The construction has finally been removed,
but I still take the 35 mph route out of habit.
It works for me. There hasn’t
been much in the way of traffic and it’s been a comfortable speed for both me
and my car. No school crossing. And no shopper’s fiasco. I do have to wait occasional
pedestrians. Not a big deal.
I’m actually happy and comfortable with
the route I am currently taking.
