Basically, Thursday night went pretty swimmingly. A couple of interesting things happened.
Thing number 1:
A little ways away from where I started, I saw a fire in the median in the distance. It was one of those medians with a metal guardrail and a good few feet of grass on either side of it, and on our side it looked like someone had literally poured gas in a wide arc curving from a point near the road to almost hit the guardrail to another point near to the road some twenty feet farther down. Because the fire was really high around that arc, but in the middle nothing was happening. Everyone lane-changed one lane to the right, but I doubt the DOT even knew about it since I don't think anyone would have reported it.
Thing number 2:
Of course this is in Atlanta. You know those cars that go in and out of traffic ridiculously? You know Smart cars? Today, those groups of people converged in a little white Smart car that was just obviously out to be killed. Here's a recommendation--if you buy a Smart car, drive like a 50 MPH collision is going to kill you, because chances are it will.
Also, when I pulled up to my favorite movie rental place the other night, I noticed that the window was reflecting only one headlight... I had my husband run out and take a look, and sure enough we will be changing that bulb today. Argh.
