At the same time, if someone is behind you and you're toodling along at 30mph in a 35 zone, pull over! Some people do that drive every day (or twice a day in fact) and they really just need to get home in time to pick up the kids from school (or whatever). Thanks Debbie… though I’m not Loyd ;-)

Not only will slowing down help the butterflies, it also gives US a chance to slow down and enhance our visit to the park. Excellent point Loyd, thanks for posting.
