It’s All Relative . . . February 3, 2018

On our recent road trip across the state to Miami and up the coast on Route A1A, we traveled through congested city streets with bumper to bumper buildings lining both sides of the road.
As we drove north on A1A, we often found ourselves traveling through canyons of skyscrapers peering down on us.
Late Saturday afternoon, we turned toward home on Route 710, driving through mile after mile of sawgrass prairie populated only by cows grazing in the fields.
Not these cows, but ones just like them . . . only slightly less curious about our “cruising tunes.”
Sometime after sunset, as we approached a 4-way intersection, a cautionary sign greeted us:
“Congested Area”
Looking around the intersection for the promised congestion, we noted a single gas station on one of the 4 corners.
And nothing else.
No high-rises. No bumper to bumper traffic. No trucks entering or leaving the highway. No construction.
As we passed through the “congestion” with ease, and without mishap, I burst out laughing.
Like beauty, congestion is in the eye of the beholder ~> it’s all relative.
Aah . . . that’s better!
