My town just got its first traffic light! Those beautiful colors, the

smoothness of the flow of traffic. It's glorious.

*sniff*

Excuse me. I think I'm becoming verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves.

1. My God!

Where do you live? Somehow I think it's so neat that we all come from such different environments.

Oh, and wait till they install the 6 lane highways and the left turn lights on all four corners of the intersection. Then you'll be cursing the 10 minutes you spend waiting for that light to turn.

4. A small (obviously) town in KY.

Somehow, I doubt we'll ever have the 6-lane highways here, although a different lane for the Amish horse-and-buggy traffic would be nice.

2. I envy you

Ours was installed a few years before I came to town. I missed all the excitement. Enjoy it while you can, my friend. Eventually you will take it for granted. :sigh:

3. I didn't even know they had electricity in Kentucky.

;)

5. Who said the light was electric?

They've got some dude up there changing the colored cover on an oil lamp :)

6. LOL!

10. While in college several years back (I'm 31), I brought a friend from "the

city" home to meet my folks. In our kitchen, we still had the old wall-mount rotary phone. My citified friend took one look at it and said, jokingly, "We used to have a phone like that, until my Dad got a job." I told him it hadn't been too many years since we had gotten off a party-line.

As for electricity, we've had that for quite awhile. ;-) My grandparents still have the distinction in town for owning the first television set.

It's a small, somewhat backward town, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. :)

7. Oh NO!! This is just the beginning of the downward spiral...

One side of the traffic light will be the "good side of town" and the troublemakers will live on the other side. Before you know it, you'll have a town crackwhore who hangs out on that corner.

My advice is to move... now! For god's sake... if you value your life... GET THE HELL OUT NOW!

[ET Awful]

8. Even worse - now that you have a traffic light, it's only a matter of time

until you get a Wal-Mart!

9. LOL--thanks for that image. nt
