Show just like the Boss Man does--just gripe. I got a gripe for this week and that is the right turn deal from 21st South on to Highland Drive. You know as you go east on 21st South there is a little cut-off just before you get to Highland Drive where you drive down if you want to make a right turn. At the intersection of the cut-off with the Drive there is a traffic signal. Now here is where my confusion con-fusion comes in. When I am riding with some one who aint too smart, like the Boss Man, and we go down that little cut-off and the light is red do we stop and then go ahead and make a right turn like the state law says you can or do we wait till the thing turns green before we go ahead? The law says go ahead after stopping unless otherwise posted but why would they have a red light on a corner where you can only make a right turn anyway unless they meant for you to stop until the green showed up. If this is all confusing to you dpnt blame me cause I'm confused about the sit-uation sit-uation myself. I think they ought to put a sign up there telling us confused folks what we should do. I was ridin with the Boss Man the other day and when we got there the light was red so he stops waiting wait-ing until it turned green and some one behind him began to honk the horn and then when we didn't move he (the honker that is) pulled around us and went ahead and made the turn. The Boss Man began to say things that he shouldn't have but that's all he did do cause he ain't very brave--the Boss Man that is. Paste Pot Palaver I sure got the tip-off on what to write about in this column. Last week I said a few words about the traffic situation at 9th South and .State and that brought forth more comments than talking talk-ing about the weather does. In fact traffic seems to be something like the weather --everyone is talking talk-ing about it and everyone that talks about it is an expert. What I don't understand isthat if there is so durned many experts why is there so durned many problems. I don't think Til ever be an expert on anything so I am going to do |
