Out of the Blue

MrsBlue changed jobs recently, so I am no long required to chauffeur her to and from the train station each day, which has reduced my opportunities to show off my gift of being a magnet for terrible drivers. Of course the fates have a way of maintaining balance, as I learned the other day was we drove down a local boulevard. A car coming from the opposite direction slowed at the gap in the median in order to make a left turn. Aware that I seem to be a particular target of bad drivers of the world, I watched warily as the car inched forward, and sure enough, it proceeded to attempt its turn about two car lengths in front of us. To say I had to stand on the brake to avoid an accident seems like an understatement: It's not easy to screech the tires with anti-lock brakes outside of the movies, but our stop sound like something right out of Hollywood, except for the blare of my horn. We stopped about three feet short of where the car sat in our path, and the chagrin was clear on the face of the other driver, who was a girl who looked all of 16, reinforcing every prejudice I have about allowing young people loose on the streets behind the wheels of cars. And you kids better stay off my lawn too!
