Phlebotomic is a blog experiment that seeks to gather multiple perspectives around a common prompt, which is provided weekly.
Last week's prompt was "Beauty"...
This week's prompt is "Path"...
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and the most efficient way to get there is to increase speed, right? There is an implied correlary of relationship between those life lessons. I value efficiency (not over quality or end result) in general. This appreciation has contributed to what my wife sometimes refers to as a "lead foot" in driving.
I used to be in a job that involved driving lots of places with jam-packed schedules of appointments. I once got 2 tickets in the same city within an hour - 1 for going 9 over while driving in the slow lane of an interstate. After that experience I bought a radar detector since it was the logically cheaper alternative than paying for another ticket the next time I was in that market (right?). In Chicago you'll get honked at
by the cops if you're not going at least 15-20 mph
above the speed limit.
So what's the jury think about efficient transit - i.e. "speeding"? Is it relative? This is a confessional inquiry...
