Skyway my way
I apparently know the skyway system so well, I can get where I’m going without paying attention. I had to walk to the Gov’t Center today from my building to drop off my questionnaire for jury duty, and because it’s several blocks, I brought something to read along the way. Yes, I know, I’m one of those people walking a reading at the same time, reading material held at the right height so I can see if I’m going to run into anyone. I have gotten whacked on the head on occasion by low-hanging branches, because of this, but still I do it.
The skyway route winds through several buildings, and there are a couple of turns that people get lost in, but with my head buried in my magazine, I still made it to the gov’t center without problem. Once in the gov’t center, I did have to go back to reception twice to make sure I was going to the right place, but I can navigate the habitrail with ease. Maybe I should hire myself out as a Skyway Sherpa. Some of the ends of the skyway system host dragons, I’m sure, waiting to ensnare the hapless traveler.
