Almost Late for School
You get behind a garbage truck on a narrow street. A school bus bears down on your tail, headlights reflected in your rearview mirror. The minutes tick tick tick. You watch the men pitch the bags into the back. Both sides of the street. You should have left home earlier, not stopped for coffee, gone a different route. You make it in time. But you might as well relax and take out your camera and shoot because there is no getting by.
Just relax and photograph the scene where you are trapped.
What a way to start the day :trapped between a bus and a garbage truck? That sounds like material for a country western song

I like the rush of adrenaline when I may be running late. I always get stuck at the rail road tracks

I hate when I am about 5 blocks from my office and a train is going through town and it goes really slow. One time I counted 103 cars.
