This little piggy nearly got whacked at the market...

I have never considered myself to be a bad driver, but today I am re-thinking that possibility. I was in Prairie Du Chien and was going to drive home when I spotted a grocery store. Piggly Wiggly to be exact. So, I got a couple things there and upon leaving the parking lot - I must have had an out of body experience or something...

I pull out of the lot and start heading down the road and I immediately become aware of excessive horn honking and at the same time realize I am driving down the wrong way of a 4 lane highway. When I left the lot, I failed to cross the first two lanes over to the 2 lanes that flow north. Instead, I crossed one lane and began to drive north on the one of 2 lanes going SOUTH.
I immediately spewed out more swear words that I even knew I held in my repertoire. So, I slowed down and had no choice but to drive up the curb onto the meridian separating the 4 lanes and wait for an opening to hop on the correct direction of travel.

Alot occurs to you while you sit in a place like this, let me tell ya. I wish I would have had my camera. I may as well have been on fire, too, for the way people were pressed up against their windshields trying to get a glimpse of the dumb broad sitting on the meridian. I found myself just staring back like I somehow MEANT to be there. Right there. I was not in the wrong here - just move along peeps!!

I eventually found the opening to get back in traffic and was on my way. Its really hard to shake that off. I must have drove about 5 miles wondering how the hell I managed that cluster F&%@.

So, if you are reading this...be glad you were not in Prairie today!
