Things I learned while Driving this weekend

  1. That people drive more aggressively on Friday than they do on Sunday.

  2. That when you see a motorcycle helmet spinning in the road it is never a good thing.

  3. That guys on Harleys are cool while guys on crotch rockets are maniacs.

  4. That it is possible to hit rush hour in Richmond, Fredericksburg, Washington D.C.,and Baltimore all in the same day.

  5. That people in Baltimore don't like it when you cut in line at the toll booth for the tunnel. (It was an accident, I swear).

  6. That a woman screaming obscenities can be heard even with the windows up.

  7. That it costs you fourteen dollars in tolls to drive from Raleigh, NC to Lansdale, PA.

  8. That 301 S is a better ride than I95 S.

  9. That Meghann can, in fact, whistle.  I heard her do it.

  10. That cars can spontaneously catch on fire. 

  11. That the Papa John's delivery guy will stop and run back to get his advertising light when it flies off of his car. 

  12. That traveling is fun, but coming home is better.

You haven't lived until you see two bicycles bouncing down the Thruway with cars weaving in and out; until you have avoided a pack of five dogs that dart across the road as you leave an underpass (and no dog dies); until your freshly cut Christmas tree breaks loose and lands in the road right in front of another car; or until your car carrier top flies off and the semi behind you flattens it. The car carrier ended up in a McDonald's dumpster and every item in the car carrier ended up in an already overladen car. Then you can say you've lived. However; it sounds like you had a fun trip.
