Migration

The great Memorial Day migration is on. The dotted lines on the highway are obscured by cars lined up bumper to bumper like an endless column of ants.

Where there is bottle necked traffic there is.... honking of horns, shaking fists, and angry shouts.

Why? It's not like the next guy in line intentionally caused the traffic jam. Everyone is equally unhappy to be stuck.

We all look forward to extended weekends, anxious for fun and relaxation. Sure a traffic jamb is a rotten way to start that break - but there's no need to start shouting at the surrounding people. Take the opportunity to have an extended, meaningful conversation with your spouse or children - listen to music - don't let the traffic ruin your long awaited good time.

Remember - there's a cold one waiting for you at your destination.
