 Posted: 03/29/05 - 09:24 Post subject: This morning's traffic adventure
So, I'm on the highway, right?
75 S heading toward downtown Cincinnati, getting ready to get onto Fort Washington Way (basically that is just a merge section of highway that heads over to 71 North).
Only one lane gets to Ft. Washington Way.
For some reason I never seem to be in the right lane.
I had no faith in myself. I saw this lane with lots of cars in it and assumed that since I was not in it, that I should be in it. I swerved over in it at the last second and went up the side of the lane in the medium. Some nice people let me in because the thought I had lost my mind. Turns out this was for Fifth Street (downtown Cincinnati). I was in the right lane before. 
You know, before I moved away, the highways were all different and I knew them great. I never had this trouble. I move home and cannot figure out where anything is!
Here's the funny part.
I go to where the Flying Pig starts and follow the race course to get to work. Yes, you read correctly. That is how I got here today. I drove the Flying Pig to work. If I didn't, I'd still be downtown somewhere.

I'll vouch for you J. I hate driving through the Nati. I'm sure its changed quite a bit since I left (it has to have, it was permanantly under construction while I lived near by) but it was so obnoxiously congested and confusing.
