September 14--Driving Around

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.  --Local liquor store sign

    I drive by that store almost every day, and the sign always makes me smile. Another one was "God created my wife then said, 'This should be interesting.'" And "School has started. Teachers, we can help." I have never patronized this store because it is at an awkward corner for getting back into traffic. 
    And that brings me to one of my foibles--I do not like to turn left onto a busy street. I would prefer to say that it is potential danger that stops me, but it is actually my impatience. I will drive out of my way to avoid a left turn, even as much as a mile-square block. It's just another version of the "scenic route." 
    Yesterday I drove a total of about 11 miles. In that short distance I saw three certified red-light-runs (as in my green left turn arrow was lit when they entered the intersection.) I know Wichita drivers are generally bad, but I suspect this is happening everywhere. 
    Be careful out there!
