Title: 4:30 PM A Good Time To Go Over The One-Way Bridge #10
Post by: Henry on May 08, 2010, 08:09:00 AM

Had my summer tires put on yesterday up at Rainvilles and left my car there and they brought me home and came to pick me up when it was done which is kind of a nice gesture as I hate hanging around a garage.  Larry came to pick me up around 4:30 and when we went down through the village cars were lined all the way up Main Hill almost up to Rainville's Garage.  Needless to say, when I drove my car home, I took the Boissoneault Road Detour to the Fletcher Road.

One interesting thing I noticed when I brought my car down earlier in the day, there was a car ahead of me coming off the Fletcher Road that was stopped waiting to be flagged on.  I suspect the woman was texting and the flagman motioned for her to come ahead and she never noticed him.  He started waving his flag and she still didn't see him.  He finally came right up to the front of her car and waved it and she finally noticed him.  I bet those people waiting in line down towards Steeple Market were Happy about it.  This was not a teenager and I just found it quite interesting since we have been having discussions here on the forum about texting and cell phones, although this person definitely was not driving along the road.
