two fell swoops

Living at a busy intersection, overlooking Main Street, we hear a lot of traffic noise - people singing in their cars, near-accident honks, weird smooth jazz tunes leaking out of SUVs.

The traffic is nice. I grew up near a busy intersection, have lived in big cities, and have learned to like hearing the constant wash of cars passing. Sometimes when I can’t sleep, Tim tells me to picture the cars passing, guess how big they are and which way they are going.

A few Saturdays ago, game day, I was sitting at a table looking our our second-story bedroom window, and a near accident occurred: A screech of brakes, 2 horns, and the distinct yell:

“Nice turn signal, ASSHOLE!”

Tim yelled from the other room “What did you say?” Apparently we’re not used to the noise (and my voice sounds like an angry man’s road rage.)

Sticking with today’s traffic theme, I also have a great Googalone from one of our readers (remember you can send yours to googalones@twofellswoops.com)

The Googalone is from a teacher of the visually impaired, who writes:

“Some of us snarkier teachers have this bumper sticker or license plate holder on our cars.
You should see the looks we get!”

The Googalone: “Warning driver reads braille”
