I hate to drive. My husband drives us everywhere. Sometimes I won’t go places just because I don’t want to drive. I hate the traffic and the other drivers, who are, by the way, all rude and FAR less careful than I! Today, I am in Austin for a conference and Austin is traffic hell. Not only is the traffic inhumane, it is freaky difficult to get around. The next thing you need to know about my driving ability is that I have NO sense of direction. None. To me, north is whichever way I’m facing. I get lost going to the grocery store in my own neighborhood…seriously. So, naturally, I couldn’t sleep all night thinking about all the possible things that could go wrong this morning traveling from my hotel to the conference site. I could get lost, get in a wreck because I’m lost, get stuck in traffic and be embarrassingly late, and worst of all, not be able to find an easily accessible Starbucks on the way. Well, I sort of got lost, but it was an easy fix…and NOT my fault. Streets should have one name, not a name and some number…or, I don’t know, if it has more than one name, could we put BOTH names on the sign??? Anyway, I didn’t really get lost and the traffic didn’t make me freak out! Oh, I got there an hour early…yep, one hour early. You just can’t be too careful!
You forgot to mention how a plane was flown into a building just a mile from where you were.
