Day Four

Time I left home:

 Time I got to work:

Here's what is miraculous about getting to work in this amount of time.  There was a ridiculous amount of rain about 3 miles north of my house!  Seriously.  It was thundering and pouring rain at my house and I thought...oh boy, 2-hour commute, here I come.  So I pack Harry Potter Book 7 in my bag, just in case I get bored of the radio, make a double-dose of coffee and head out the door.  It was downpouring the entire way to the beltway and then all of a sudden, around exit 12, the rain just stopped.  Stopped!  Nothing.  The whole rest of the way and I couldn't believe it.  I was just trying to get to work as fast as I could before the rain caught up to me.

I thought everyone else was too...except for the Acura in front of me.  Oh, don't get me wrong, that car was driving fast too, until the person did a classic "Maryland driving technique"...drive as fast as you can when the road is straight and then as soon as a curve hits: SLOW DOWN!  Literally, this person was going about 80 MPH on the straight roads and went down to 60 on the curves.  I just don't understand.  So, I passed the car and went about my way.  Good times.
