I'm always running late and I'm ALWAYS behind a tractor!
I know, my traffic problems could be worse so I won't complain too much. Tractors, city buses and trucks(or tractors) hauling boats seem to be the source of my stress when I'm driving. They're slow and I can't ever get around them. I won't even mention having to wait for sheep to clear the road. I'll take it any day over gridlock though.
we run into sheep every now and then, but they are much easier to get through - they all follow each other, and eventually, the flock clears...
ReplyDeleteMaria, I think my local sheep know me...they make me wait! :P
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a minor toll to pay living near the countryside. The advantages are far more :)
ReplyDeleteIvy...it is. It really is a minor toll. I'll take it any day. I used to live in the city where my driveway was frequently blocked, there bus stop on the corner and the bus arrived every 15 minutes, lots of traffic and noise. That's why I think it's funny that my traffic nightmare stems from tractors. Just a minor frustration, that's the worst of it and it's not horrible. :P
ReplyDeleteHave a great Sunday!
Sure sure...blame the tractors for your tardiness. ;) Just kidding..I have been stuck behind them also coming back from your house..what a pain in the ass!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this post. The frustration and yet the wonderfulness of it too!
ReplyDeleteYep, yep, and yep! It seems like whenever we are travelling down the Panorama road we always get behind something going insanely slow - and there is almost no place to pass! The goats and sheep are our big gridlock up here. Every day, several times a day they come up here. Good thing I don't have to go out very often!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why you are always running behind a tractor!! Try at least to be behind a bus!!! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI guess you need to wake up early...
ReplyDelete@ Christie...yes! I'll blame the tractors! I always try to be punctual...they just mess things up for me! :)
ReplyDelete@ Joy...Hi Joy :) Yes, it's ironic how it can be both frustrating & wonderful.
@ Mel...haha...I know you know very well what's going on here! I can't imagine being stuck behind a tractor or goats up there on the mountain. You really have to wait!
But, it's beautiful isn't it?
@ Phivos...I don't either! But I do get stuck behind buses more often than I'd like. I sent you a photo of me stuck behind a bus just so you could see that I get stuck behind everything that's slow moving!! :):)
xo
@ Krisno...Perhaps I should wake up or leave much earlier than I do. Maybe it wouldn't be so frustrating if I gave myself time for these things! :):)
Yes, and there's alot of them on the lanes at this time of year....These city folk just don't understand!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJude, I know...it might not sound so bad but when it's dealt with regularly it's irritating. :P
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week! :)
Guess it is this what Greece teaches most, to be patienent and able to let go...
ReplyDeletePlease have you all a nice Tuesday.
Robert...you're right. It does teach most, but not all. It's nice to let go :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day yourself, it's always nice to see you here.
As a tractor driving Dude I have to have some allegiance to the tractor drivers in Greece. But you're right... when you're running late it does seem that the strangest "things" get in your way, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteSpuds...well the tractor drivers are pretty nice...just slow, that's all. I'm always late and these things are always in my way, I get giddy when I can actually drive the speed limit. :D
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up this cultivator (plow) the tractor has mounted on it is used to cultivate rows of corn or anything else. It digs up the ground and weeds between rows. When I was growing up, as I started to say, these were pulled down the road by horses. A team of horses pulled a two-wheel machine with iron wheels and wooden spokes and the man set on it and raised and lowered the plow with a hand lever. It took forever to get anywhere stuck behind a horse and cultivator.
ReplyDeleteAbraham- Your description is very interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I have to say, that is incredibly slow! I can't imagine what would happen if those cultivators were still used in today's world as we are always in a rush. :):)
