Here's what happened:
I had an evening meeting. The parking lot of the building has acouple of basketball goals in it, and people play there after hours.
The lane with the makeshift basketball court is the inbound lane, so
I had to drive cautiously to allow a man and his son to stop playing and
get out of the way of traffic. They finally did, slowly and reluctantly.
After the meeting, I found a note on my van, scribbled on a deposit slip:
"Next time don't go down the isle people are playing on and slow down."
My guess is that he found this to be an great teachable moment for his son:
Don't stop playing in the parking lot for incoming traffic; make them get
over into the outbound lane and go the wrong way. And
5 M.P.H. is fast.
Of course, the reason I smiled is that he thought they were on a small island!
