Yesterday, while I was out driving, I got stuck behind a Line
Painting Truck. This wasn't one of the usual small jobs I'd
seen before -- the thing was the size of a cement mixer, and
had a couple of monstrous pressurized paint containers onboard.
The traffic was backed up because they were doing the double-
yellow center lines (which effectively blocked off half the
street. Eventually, I turned onto a side road to take a detour.
As I continued home, I saw freshly painted lines everywhere...
those guys had been busy. (With paint canisters that big, I
guess you can stay out a long time!)
I also saw a dead animal lying in the center of the road, which
isn't all that unusual. It might have been a groundhog or a
racoon -- when it's flattened out, it gets kinda tough to tell.
But this animal had one unusual distinguising characteristic...
...two bright yellow lines running straight across his back!

-if you have to ask get out of the way-
Have you ever been stopped by a traffic cop and, while he was
writing a ticket or giving you a warning, you got the feeling that
he would just love to yank you out of the car, right through the
window, and smash your face into the front fender?...
