How to Drive

Today is Saturday and on Monday I'm getting in the car and driving to Pennsylvania. I'm kicking off a new job in the Philadelphia area, working for The American Bible Society as the Director of Web Communications. My GPS will get me there, but since I have a passion for the details (anal) I looked up the route on Google maps.

Along the way, there were pictures of the road through Toledo. Most of them looked just the way I remember from the many times I've driven through Toledo, gotten on 475, and even hit the Ohio Turnpike. As I continued to pull up the images along the way, I discovered a rather disconcerting image.



Doesn't this seem dangerous to you?

I feel a little more confident since the directions continue...
13. Continue on I-76 E, Partial toll road, Entering Pennsylvania. 350 mi

However, I'm a little apprehensive about arriving anywhere after driving through a retaining wall of an overpass. But according to this next image everything seems like it's going to be OK. Just drive into the light...


Until I find myself on the wrong side of the road and have to cut across a cement barrier and directly into the side of this tanker.


I'm just going to follow the GPS and take my chances.
