For-ev-er! For-ev-er!

So on Thanksgiving Day, Jeran and I were driving to our friends house for a nice small Thanksgiving dinner. We were a few minutes late getting out the door and then "we" decided to take the wrong/roundabout way of getting there. As it turns out, this led us into the path of the NEW light of death. The old light of death is a major intersection near our home where two 4= lane highways intersect. Every direction has its own green turn arrows, etc and you have to wait for a very long time if you miss the green light (which is most of the time, considering you have to wait for about 10 lights to cycle before yours is green again). That was the old light of death.

Meet the new light of death. So we are on our merry way to dinner and stop at a normal old stoplight in a averagely busy area. We were the only car in line and we waited and watched the light for the other direction, waiting to see it trn red so ours would turn green. Well we saw the left turn arrow go green, yellow, red, green, yellow, red... for about 10 times or the equivalent of 6-7 solid minutes (with some but not many cars going the other way and by now three cars behind us), before we finally decided we were not going to sit at the never-changing stoplight FOREVER! Literally. If we hadn't run that red light, we would be there still. staying alive on pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes. Anyways, it was pretty funny and weird.

We had a good dinner with all the normal fixings. Yum. It was good. Happy Thanksgiving. We got up kind of early and went to Target which amazingly wasn't too busy. I feel bad for the poor stores that aren't doing too well and may not get much help from Black Friday. Good luck, Mr. Economy!
