Title: Road scrabble
Post by verslagen1 on 12/09/15 at 13:15:38

You guys want to try a different game?

I call it road scrabble.
It started as a way of keeping my avoidance skills up.
I would see how many letters I could swerve between... 1st letter of "STOP" to 2nd letter of "AHEAD" and increase it every time.
Then I got the idea to make words, pick a letter and run over to collect it.

I got this one stuck in my head, "roll on" from "car pool only".
So I'm hoping you'll give another one to go for.

here in the valley, the "leaders" and "planners" thought it wise to place all the manholes and utility access in the lanes of traffic either in LP1 or LP3. Usually several side by side or in a row. I like to "drunk" weave thru these covers.

I dodging and weaving those like a turkey on Thanksgiving week... ;D...

Ok, so well count avoiding those as "OH SH!T" :-?

Why would anyone do that? When they catch that jerk, and I hope they do, soon, I will laugh if he owns or his dad owns a struggling tire shop. If I was the fuzz, I'd be looking at just that, for starters.

Do you get bonus points if you can catch letters in adjoining lanes?

(No....not the lanes for oncoming traffic). :o

I'm happy enough weaving around all the normal things here, road apples, dead animals, more road apples and pot holes.
