Don't knit and drive!
OK, this is one of the weirdest things that I've seen lately while driving.
After I left my office this evening, I got behind a gold Ford Taurus stationwagon. I noticed the car initially because it seemed to be weaving quite a bit within its lane.
At the next stoplight, I noticed that the driver, a woman in her 60s, was looking down for long periods of time, then glancing up to check out what was going on out there on the road. She did this at the light and when she was barreling down the road at 60mph.
After first, I thought she was reading; however, as I watched closer, she seemed to be doing something with her arms (while she was driving, of course). I continued behind her for several miles. Finally, at the next stoplight, I noticed a big quilt draped over the middle of the seat. She was knitting!!! After a couple of minutes at this really long stoplight, I finally saw the knitting needles. I couldn't believe it.
To make matters worse, I ended up following her all the way until she turned into the subdivision next to ours. So chances are, I will be running into (hopefully not literally) her and her knitting again.
