22 Jun Dreams Really Do Come True
Matt Hoying:
“He even doodles roundabouts.”
The “he” in question is transportation engineer Dane Sommer, and, yep, while learning about Traffic Control Measures, he doodled roundabouts. Like, for fun. And let’s be realistic—if Dane is doodling roundabouts, he probably dreams about them, too. The sign of a true engineer.
What else are Choice One’s engineers dreaming and doodling about? Traffic celebrity Craig Eley surely dreams nightly about flipping the “on” switch to activate a brand new traffic signal. We know they’re all dreaming about doughnuts. (Same shape as roundabouts: not a coincidence.) And, heck, Brian Schmidt can’t even get to sleep because he’s too excited to “Schmidty all over” a set of sanitary sewer plans he’s reviewing.
So if we assume Dane does, in fact, dream lovingly of roundabouts (and really, what self-respecting transportation engineer doesn’t?), what might his nightmares be? Long traffic queues at busy intersections? Malfunctioning vehicle detection? NO ROUNDABOUTS?! Let’s hope not. Not only would that be terrifying, we also need Dane to get plenty of rest. That way he stays attentive in seminars.
