Late Night Traffic

So I'm driving home the other night. As previously mentioned, I live in the boonies. I mean, it's a decent sized community, but it's like farm country y'know. So I didn't expect ANY traffic.

First, the Murphiest Law of all Murphy's Laws happens. I'm driving along....not a car in sight....then of course, as luck would happen, two cars decide they need to pull across the road I'm driving on at the same time. It's 2:37am (exactly, I looked at the clock). Not another bloody car in sight and now there's TWO. And of course, the impatient-ass of a cab driver can't wait 14.2 seconds for me to go by....but has to pull out and turn left in front of me....hence I had to slow down. Did I mention there was no other cars behind me?!!! The other driver waited and turned after I passed....prolly cuz he knew there was no one else around.

Second, at a certain point you know you've entered the boonies. Street lights get fewer, road gets windier. You figure not much traffic around so you use your high beams. But wait, WTF? There is car after car heading toward you. High beams on.... high beams off.... high beams on.... high beams off. I give up! High beams off. There musta been a helluva party in Metchosin that night!

Haha! Very nice! This post reminds me of growing up way out in the boonies (northern MB) and driving down the highway at night...lots of playing with the high beams!
