I owe a debt of appreciation to the streets department for the brain health exercises they provide us. As I drive around Dallas, they test my mental alertness by suddenly closing the lane I am driving in, and if I travel the same route daily, they change which lane is closed so that I continue to be challenged.
Another thing they provide is problem-solving exercise. If lanes are closed, I must figure out how to adjust my route to get to my destination, or how to turn left or right when that lane is closed. Thank you for improving my alertness and problem-solving skills, and I hope that this public-service testing will be finished soon.
