So have you ever been driving along with the hopes of turning left? Most people have wanted to turn left at some time in their life. Well, you'd think it's not too complicated, but there's almost always one thing in the way. When you arrive at a stoplight, get in the left turning lane and see...
The Red Arrow.
There's something menacing about the red arrow. Everyone else has the green light, but you're stuck there waiting for the damn red arrow to turn green. Just waiting. Waiting.
When it finally does turn green, you have maybe thirty seconds to FLY through your left turn and if you're more than four cars back, you can forget turning left on this particular green arrow. It's just not going to happen, buster!
That's why today's ode is to "not having to wait at a stoplight for a green arrow." Because driving along at 50 mph and seeing that green arrow is already green so that you can just turn and not wait for no reason, I think, may be the most fulfilling driving experience in the world!
Actually, just not having to wait at all is a fantastic experience. We're living in impatient times! I want my food NOW. That's why we have microwaves. I want my mail INSTANTLY. Email! I want my waste disposed as soon as it RETREATS FROM MY BOWELS! Indoor plumbing.
Now all of these things are great, but we're talking about green arrows here! The green arrow is almost a passport, a window to the left turn. That's really all you can say about them. I just wanted to bring attention to how much fun it is to turn left without waiting. What a rush.
