Unusual I-5 scene
The lack of brake lights in this photo tells you one of two things:
1) Everyone is tailgating in such perfect precision that brakes are unnecessary, or
2) We are all parked on the freeway.
The correct answer is 2. I took this picture at the same time and place as yesterday’s entry.
This was the first time (and hopefully the last that) I’ve ever turned off my engine while in the fast lane. I’ve been in traffic many, many times before, but killing the engine to wait it out wasn’t in my prior experience.
