Little old ladies driving slowly

I was out with the kid today, doing a bunch of errands. We were driving on Wilson Mills Road, which isĀ  a major east-west artery through Cleveland’s eastern suburbs, two lanes each way. The right-hand lane was moving painfully slowly. I didn’t see any school or other buses farther up the lane, but there we were, inching along at about 23 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone. I finally managed to get in the left lane and was able to increase my speed a bit, passing the slow-moving parade of cars on the right. At the head of the parade was an electric blue Ford, sublimely rolling along at 23 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone, driven by a tiny white-haired woman whose head was approximately level with the top of the steering wheel. And damned if she didn’t look dignified.
