I decided not to be such a cheap ass this wonderfully snowy month of March and splurged for a parking spot at work just for one month. Mostly though, and I am not afraid to admit it, I rented it out of sheer laziness.
Besides the point though, I was stuck in a small moment of backed up traffic this afternoon. There was a car accident at the first intersection I passed. I hope everyone is OK as the cars were pretty banged up. Traffic swiftly returns to normal dispersion and flow and I make one intersection free and clear. The third intersection I approach is all of a sudden backed up as well. My first instinct is that this is just one bad day for downtown drivers. I find it odd that only 2 lanes are backing up. Like every other impatient driver around me I move safely into the lane that is moving (after checking my mirrors, shoulder checking, signalling and ensuring it is safe to proceed). I rubberneck like a good driver to see what the disturbance is to discover that it is really two Canadian Geese just hanging out in the road. Walking around, hanging out and just having a gay old time. This makes me feel very Canadian.
Shellie Moment: I realize that there is a distracted driving law in effect in Alberta and respectfully keep my phone in my purse while driving. Although for a moment or two after witnessing these two geese frolic in the street I really wanted to block the third free flowing lane of traffic to take a photo. Is it wrong to block traffic for a photo opportunity? Or is it wrong to even consider that as an option? You decide. As you can see though there is no photographic evidence to this blog.
