Like it never happened

I noticed something today. The Metro police are incredibly efficient. I was driving on a major road that has two lanes on each side and an idiot lane in the middle. I passed a car accident and it had just occurred. It looked as if someone cut it too close trying to turn left and the person driving straight at them was not able to stop in time, but tried to turn to the right to avoid a T-Bone wreck. What ended up happening was the car already on the road rammed the front left corner of their car into the driver’s side door of the car turning left onto the road. Traffic was stopped on both sides; anyone trying to turn left into the little road was blocking the left lane because the center idiot lane was taken up by all of us moving in the same direction as the car who hit the car turning. We all had to merge into one lane and drive through the idiot lane while the police directed traffic. It was amazing. I drove by a mere half an hour later, going the other direction and the cars were moved out of sight into an abandoned parking lot, the street was clear and traffic was moving normally on both sides.

Like it never happened.

How often do we encounter something amazing, and a half an hour later everything is back to normal?

Incredible thought

Until next time,

:)
