School's back in, we know what that means.

Guys. You will never believe it. After an entire summer of a peaceful drive into work, the start of the school year brings new challenges, new traffic patterns, and one familiar troublemaker. Today, at exactly 7:44am on the southbound lane of Thomasville Road, we met again. After 3 glorious and stress free months, she's back.

White Oddessey.

She's BACK!

You know, White Oddessey.

She's back, she's in full force, and she's up to her old tricks again. The old "Speed past everyone in the merge lane then cut 'em all off" trick. How predictable, Oddessey. What, couldn't come up with anything better? I whipped out my camera in order to get a shot of her, but she was too speedy. What a snake. Anyways, back to this morning.

This morning, this time, my friends, I followed her.

That's right. Work can wait (and I believe my coworkers would understand and encourage this). I have GOT to see the final destination of White Oddessey. I made a sharp turn on Pine Street and tried to catch up, White Oddessey about 6 cars in front of me. It was a challenge keeping up with her because of Forest Green Chevy Silverado on raised wheels and two giant mufflers driven by what must have been a recently turned 16 year old Leon Lion. I crossed over 7th ave. I raced around traffic calmers and road debris. I had my eyes set on White Oddessey. As I crossed over Mitchell and took a left, I realized the fight was over.

I'd lost her.

But I will not relent.

I will find you White Oddessey.

My traffic patterns have changed, too. I will now get in the merge lane of southbound Thomasville Road and block her out. This is my resolution. I'm doing it for all the drivers out there. A sort of Robin Hood of the roads....fighting for the rights of the streets.

note: I was not late to work.
