Inside the Lines

You know when you were little and people always told you to think outside the box and color outside the lines? I used to think of it literally and scribble over entire pictures and called it art. There's nothing wrong with that, although I do believe that there is one time when these mantras or whatever you would like to call them are wrong. And that time is called "driving."

Yes, driving is one time where creativity is not really a good thing. And it is definitely one where you should stay within your lines. As long as you're not changing lanes or anything. I've noticed that more and more drivers are getting a bit too creative. Drifting into other lanes, swerving, or being altogether nuts is not cool. Neither is being honk-happy. And then they even look at you like you're the rude, insane one! I long for a few years ago when drivers seemed more courteous, and even thanked you for letting them into your lane, etc. Never seems to happen anymore! Oh today's society....
