I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now.

Oh-oh. Kermit doesn't understand the 'zipper' protocol about merging. You're not supposed to change lanes until they merge.

Chisue, I think that's in a regular merge lane, but when there's a lane closed due to construction, I'm with him. :-)

There are dumb and then there are DUMB! Ya gotta try to keep them safe🤣

Long, long ago, an old Indian chief was about to die, so he called for Fighting Bear and Falling Rocks, the two bravest warriors in his tribe. The chief instructed each to go out and seek deer skins.

About a month later, Fighting Bear came back with two hundred pelts. But Falling Rocks never returned. Even today, as you drive through the country, you see signs that say, "Watch for Falling Rocks".

I agree with Chisue. Traffic flows smoother if merging occurs at the point of lane closure. Doing so several miles earlier makes no sense.

What a dear you are, schoolhouse, for bringing this story to us.

Appearing to relate to indigenous culture ... it reminds me that, though I've lived next door to an indigenous settlement for 16 years, I'm had very few connections with them.
