I admire Minesota for their highway system; their speedy roads, their efficient byways, their ability to quickly travel to exotic and distant lands: Des Moines, Fargo, even Biwabik, home of Honk the Moose and gateway to the Iron Range. Granted, they do have road construction for much of the year, and it snows for what’s left, but when those roads are clear, holy cow are they fast.
But Jesus Christ: what’s up with the left-turn arrows? I’ve been back home for less than a week, and already I’ve spent at least eight hours waiting to turn left. Eight hours of my life wasted, because some U of M College of Traffic Studies student lost his freaking stopwatch after graduation and was then assigned the job of setting the traffic lights.
Hey Minnesota – pay attention: people need to turn left sometimes.
