A few days ago, I became an unofficial speed bump spectator from my home office—talk about a front-row seat to neighborhood drama! The crew showed up with their tools, and soon enough, the first of the majestic 6 1/2 inch “humps” was installed. It was like watching a live-action version of a NASCAR pit stop!
I was sipping my coffee when WHAM! A Corvette zoomed by, only to perform an impression of a startled jackrabbit as it bottomed out. You’d think they were auditioning for a car version of “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” It wasn’t long before folks from the town started gathering like it was a flash mob, discussing the pros and cons of speed bumps with the seriousness of a town hall meeting.
Hours later, just as I was contemplating turning this into a reality TV show, the bump was ripped out! It was like watching a magician pull a disappearing act, but instead of applause, I could only imagine the confused looks from the spectators.
Honestly, I have mixed feelings about these speed humps. Sure, we need to slow down—nobody wants to be a hood ornament—but do we really need a speed bump that feels like a miniature version of Everest? As I sit here typing, the crew is giving a lower bump a shot. Fingers crossed it’ll just be a gentle rise instead of a roller coaster ride! At this point, I’m half-tempted to sell tickets for my next front-row watching experience!
