Some Days It's Wise To Just Stay In Your Lane

---

This husband and I…

Wanted to spend an evening in San Antonio…see the sites…take in the beauty of the season the city has to offer…looked for the route…taken last year…backroads…no highways…stoplights…residential…takes longer but doesn’t cause old lady driver me…to panic…

Maps offers routes…all include highways…try again…highways again…ask for…no highways…maps doesn’t care…thinks the only way to get there…includes…a highway…so…old lady driver me…took a smaller highway…but a highway…is a highway…four lane…five lane…construction…cars…zippety do here…zippety da there…white knuckled it…speed limit only…stayed…in the center lane…

And got us there…in one piece…toured the Spanish Governor’s Palace…the quaint rooms…impressive architecture…walked…where the Von Trapp family…once walked…ahhh…Maria and the hills are alive…just like highway driver me…no thanks to Google Maps…is still alive…because old lady driver me…knew that to get there…safely…the smartest thing to do…was…for once…stay in her lane…

And that co-pilot husband of mine…agreed…
