Torn, Battered, Defeated

September 23, 2005

Sometime between Thursday morning and Friday morning, someone finally disposed of the plastic barrier that had been leaning into this turn lane on Northside Drive. While its yellow brethren are content to stand upright or lie peacefully on the ground, this rogue leaned in, taunting all who passed for a kiss of its plastic on one's car's port side.

To most, this photo is boring, but to those of us who drive on Northside almost daily, it represents great triumph.
