Just Pass Me By

I got off early today again. My plan was after work I would run over to Wal-mart, I need a Seat cover, I should have gotten 2 not one but I put it on the site that needed it the most. Tomorrow on my way to pick up hubby I guess I need to go back oh well. When I lift work, it looked like we had a storm moving in. My city is known to flood a lot, it seems pretty hilly and the drainage doesn’t seem good.
I got to Wal-Mart right about the time the storm moved in. So I ran in and decided I would stay for a little while because the color of the Sky made me think not good for driving. Goodness I spent more money then I wanted to, because I was walking around looking for things. Almost spent way to much.
I was right, there was plenty of tree derbies in the roads when I came home. I was driving down one of the side streets because hwy 494 during storms and rain isn’t a pleasant road even if it’s during lunch hour. I took the frontage road I guess would be the best thing to call the road. I got to a place where I had to make a turn or go throw a puddle that was up to the top of the tire on a larger trucker. I have a van, but I am not going to go and drive through a puddle that looks like it could easily stall my van out. I went through one of the car dealer lot, they didn’t mind but everyone was doing it to. On a side note, don’t just follow the leader they might lead you into a dead end. I had a older couple follow me right into a dead end. I should learn how to read that sign, “Dead End” it means you can’t go anywhere but turn around and go back to the next turn. I finally got back on to the road I needed and then go to my turn for another road which leads to my street.
Alright people, don’t bend over and put your head into traffic let the city worker clean out the drain they have cones and clothes to be seen with. A lady decided she had to be in the road cleaning out the drain of the small limb pieces from trees and flowers. The truck before me was hugging the left side of the lane and so was I. After he passed the woman I saw her with her head going further out into the street. Good thing no one missed her, but she not the most unwise person out during this weather.
While driving to Wal-Mart I had a kid decide it was wise to run into a 4 lane road, with traffic coming at him with full speed. No cross walk no nothing just ran across the road. I wounder if children’s life insurance covers kids who run into incoming traffic, when it’s clear that traffic is going, and no crosswalk.
