A funny thing happened today while I was using the current version of the Waze app. I'm driving down Interstate 95 and a warning pops up on my phone screen informing me that, "An animal is on the side of the road ahead". Having never seen that warning before I was assuming a deer, dog or some other animal was trying to cross the interstate. It was rush hour and cars were bumper to bumper on a section of highway usually packed with cars that time of day....As I approach the area of the warning icon ( on the screen ) I'm scanning my eyes right and left when suddenly I catch movement to my right....It took a moment for me to make the mental connection but when I did I started LMAO. Along the side of the Interstate was an old and raggedy looking homeless guy just walking along the shoulder of the highway. Waze has no icon button for humans walking on the side of the road but they do have one for animals....While it might have seemed to be a bit crude I just couldn't help but laugh at the thought that someone had the idea to do that. ( FWIW, it did get the guy noticed. Walking along an Interstate is illegal and also very dangerous ).
