The Perfect Transfer


You gotta enjoy the small things in life. It's why I take pleasure in something as small as the "perfect transfer." Going north on the 5, you can exit to Grand by switching lanes to the right. But there are bumps (called Bott's dots) on the road that prevents the transition from being a smooth one.

So what is the perfect transfer? It's being able to switch lanes without hitting any of the bumps. A car has 4 tires and you're moving at least 50mph. It's not an easy task avoiding Bott's dots. I expect to hit one every time I transfer, but when I don't, I smile.

I've only done this about two or three times total, but I was able to pull it off on the night of May 11th.

I think you can imagine what I did to celebrate that night.

Cheers!
