Over a couple months of living at the apartment, I had observed several people exiting the complex using the inbound lane with no problem, while I dutifully did the right [lane] thing.
One day I noticed that Marilyn was already at the front of the right lane. So I whipped up beside her on her left. As I was waiting for her to notice me she decided to turn into traffic and instead turned into me.
She didn't let me know she was a "little" upset that I was where she didn't expect me to be until later. I was just surprised at the amount of the corner she cut, enough to hit my car.
Her car wasn't hurt at all. Mine had a dented front fender but nothing that impaired its driving. We each hopped out of our respective cars to look at the damage, hugged, and drove away.
I can only imagine the surprise and relief of the people in the line of cars behind us.

Marilyn lost her life to cancer but was able to truly "live" until the very end due to a lymphedema garment from Don Kellogg, inventor and founder of Telesto-Medtech. It is due to the "living" he provided Marilyn and through his suggestion and connection with Saskia Thiadens of the National Lymphedema Network that the Marilyn Westbrook Garment Fund exists. It needs other people's help to remain a living memorial of Marilyn. Please help other people receive the gift of living by donating to the Marilyn Westbrook Garment Fund. Thank you.
