Today is the first installment of what I’m calling: Tips on Tuesday. I wanted to call it Tipsy Tuesday, but I realized it was still too early in the week for that. Stay tuned though, I might be ready for Tipsy by Thursday.
Tuesday Tip:
- If you’ve been driving solo at night, with sleeping child in back seat, and you realize that the bridge you are crossing looks a little different, it is because you are on a different highway than the one you always take. It is NOT a newly remodeled bridge. Do NOT keep driving another 45 minutes before you check the road signs and realize you have veered yourself off course. You should pull over immediately. Check your surroundings. Consult a map. Call someone. And by all means, get yourself a cup of coffee. Driving to and from Lake Tahoe during ski season should only be done with a co-driver, at 5 a.m., or with a road map marking every Starbucks drive-thru on your route home.
hehehehe – and if you see a “Welcome to Pennsylvania sign,” turn around and tell everyone immediately because if you don’t your kids will.
You know the feeling then? I gained my reputation for driving way off course way back in high school…when I took my friend and I about 200 miles in the wrong direction. Ah well, we’re all notorious for something.
that is an excellent title bar you’ve got there! congratulations on its debut and congrats on conquering the wordpress test. i’ve concluded it is a hazing process & only those who are smart enough to figure it out are worthy of blogging here. and a very worthy blog you have indeed!
We had this trouble in Washington, D.C. years ago. Every time we got on the beltline to go downtown, we’d see “Welcome to Maryland.” Or notice, “Hey, the Washington Monument is supposed to be on the OTHER side of the car…” We did this at least three times. Slow learners or poor navigators, I guess.
