Don't Try This At Home

OK, maybe a one-handed grab shot while driving at 65 miles per hour isn't a good idea. So I shouldn't tell you this is one of seven or eight such shots.


Interstate 70 slices through the northern tip of Middletown Valley and I get to see a valley sunset several days a week as I drive home. Middletown doesn't actually have its own exit. The town sits about 5 miles northwest of one exit and about 4 or 5 miles southeast of another. Many residents probably like it that way because it cuts down on some of the increased commuter traffic in the area. I've heard there are plans for an exit much closer to town, but I've seen no evidence of right-of-way clearance or construction yet. Maybe that plan is still being debated.
