Timely Delay

More often than not my daily commute has me in the thick of traffic as I opt for the most direct route, using the same logic as motorists in an effort to get from point A to point B in the most efficient manner possible. The other morning traffic behind me was stopped to allow a truck entry into a construction site. This gave me over 48 feet of completely empty laneage to enjoy, and enjoy I did. It was me versus myself as I raced green lights from 12th Street to Colfax Avenue, carving slalom turns and grinning like a kid the whole time.
