E-Z Pass

There's no denying the ease and advantages of using an E-Z Pass, but I learned on the trip to Canada, it is not eternal.  It has a battery life of 8 or so years; it is a scary thing when lights flash or you are told to call E-Z Pass.  But, true to its name, it gave me an "easy pass" to a new transponder and forgiveness for the tolls I "crashed."  It reminded me that in life, there are days of smooth sailing, then an unforeseen storm, and an eventual calm resolution.  The call to E-Z Pass limited my time to write, but just this thought might provide some nourishment for today.
