Sigh

I don’t know if anyone longs for those early days of the pandemic. I certainly don’t. However, walking out to retrieve the printed news this morning did make me yearn for one effect of the lockdown. Highly reduced traffic.

I remember driving my sister to the airport with no one on the highway. Apparently she returned home on the cusp of locking down air travel. Then we had quiet streets for weeks, light traffic for months! Those little results I do miss as I listen to the constant buzz from the highway near us.

Lest you think else-wise, I appreciated the softening of traffic as it happened, too. It was one of those blessings in disguise allowing me undisturbed-by-rude-driver episodes, as well as long road-trip ease.

Monday morning musing.
