As of yesterday, I have passed the halfway mark. That means that I am finally on my way down the slope towards the finish line. Don't get me wrong, I am not going to be cleansed of all of my anger by then. My suspicion is intact that I shall continue with some similarly mad project.
But that is for the future.
Now, the reason I note the halfway mark - beyond the obvious relief and enjoyment it brings me; is that todays rant is the first of its kind!
That's right - there's some new tricks in this old dog yet!
What I mean by this, is that todays rant is not as the result of something bad - but because of something rather good!
Paradoxes abound huh?
Today, driving to band was an absolute pleasure. It really was. And why was it exceptionally so?
Because, every was driving properly!
As in: no-one was doing anything stupid, for a whole 17 miles of motorway.
That has got to be record!
- People used the lanes properly, moving in and out of the lanes, overtaking as necessary then returning to the left.
- People didn't undertake.
- People didn't hog the middle lane.
- Lorries didn't try to overtake other lorries in the middle lane.
- No BMWs or Audis hogged the right hand lane.
- Everyone left sensible gaps, no-one tailgated.
It was bloody wonderful. I couldn't have been happier!
So why can't it be like that for all of the other days I have to go on that god forsaken motorway!
Why does people driving courteously have to be the exception? Why can't it be the rule?
You never know, when all the planets align once more, it may happen again.
But probably not in my lifetime.
Rant over.
