I must admit that this week's task is easy to forget but I did try my husband's technique for clarifying same-time stop sign arrival. It worked well. However, I almost checked a poor man this morning on the side of the road. He wasn't walking
against traffic--he was walking
with it in the early morning wearing a gray shirt and somewhat emerged from the brush on the side of the road. Luckily I saw him before making him my hood ornament. Not what I would classify as
gentle driving on my part. This evening in an attempt to make up for the near accident, I did make an effort to slow down on my way home as I became aware that I was whizzing through the neighborhood in a hurry to get home for dinner. Driving is to be on constant alert--you never know what's going to jump out at you from all sides!
On a completely separate note, I must share the picture below representative of the crazed Canada Goose that attacked a colleague and I outside yesterday. It was one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. The goose swooped in off the lake flanking us; I darted left, my colleague right. The goose went after him with full force--hissing and flapping those wings like he was falling from the sky. My colleague lost his eyeglasses in the rose garden (and incurred a few cuts and scrapes) and had to later retrieve them with the help of another co-worker and a rake to fend off the territorial goose. The image is forever emblazoned into my memory--I'm just glad I didn't lose an eye!
