The meeting of Amherst and Broad is treacherous.
Today, Amherst drivers had been stopped at red for three cycles.
Cars were starting to turn around, etc.
After momentarily contemplating waiting (hours of rush hour on 128 taught me to wait),
I took a side road,
to end up on Broad under a red as I watched the cars I was just behind pass in front of me.
It made me think about waiting for other people to change—how quick I to take a side road, deciding it’s not worth the wait.
I wonder how many set-backs have been self-inflicted.
