<< Howdy, Why does it seem like the other lane in heavy traffic is always going faster? Depends on who you ask. Here's two contradictory answers with explanations. >> I've always though it's a perception problem: I think about which lane is going faster in a memorable way only when I'm angry that it's not my lane. That reminds me of something I said to a girlfriend of mine back in my undergraduate days. She angrily rifled around her dorm room looking for her keys, and when she found it (rhetorically) demanded to know why it's always in the last place she looked. I replied that it's because when we find it we stop looking. <G> David
