Do You Nestor?

Most news junkies know Jonah Goldberg for his political commentary. Beyond the politics, he often provides us with interesting and  humorous anecdotes about life inside the Beltway. His National Review post today may deal with gun control, but OTR thinks the real gem therein is the concept of nestoring.

Anyone who has driven the Capital Beltway across eastern Montgomery County is quite familiar with  planned nestoring. A portion of that stretch is fondly referred to as "the chicane" by local drivers. When you drive it at 80 mph in a crisp Saturday sunrise and no traffic - probably impossible these days - you'll understand. Some rules are just made to be broken.
