To the driver in Winghaven this morning, who saw I us trapped at a very busy light--pulled up to the sensor for the light to change, then backed up and pulled into the right hand turn lane: I didn't know what you were doing at the time, until you were gone. Since I didn't get to give you a wave--Thank you! I hope I can return the favor someday.

Awww that was sweet. I'm sure at the time you thought "what's this yayhoo doing?" At least that's what I would've thought. How very considerate.

Yep, I figured it was another loose nut behind the wheel with the potential to run me over. I had just begun to run the light (after a second cycle), when DH yelled "green light!" He figured it out after we went through the intersection
