My commute home this morning was very interesting. Within the first 1/4 mile I almost got hit by a mini van. Another 2 feet and I would have been wearing a Dodge symbol on me. Then about half into the commute I was crossing the Interstate bride when the lights, sirens and bells started to go off then the gates closed. All I could think was oh no I am on the wrong side and the bridge is going to lift and I have no wear to go. Thankfully the bridge operator seen me and opened the gate just before lifting the bridge. The second half was not as exciting but it was clear and in the upper 30's F.
