Sagittarius Horoscope for week of August 11, 2005

There's a three-mile stretch of Interstate 880 south of Oakland, California that I call the Singing Highway. For reasons I don't understand, it generates low humming melodies every time I drive over it, similar to the guttural chants of Tibetan monks. Sometimes I swear I can even hear lyrics. Today, for example, I was driving to the airport. My mind turned to you, my Sagittarian readers. Yours was the only horoscope I had left to write for this week, and to pass the time I thought I'd scavenge around for fresh intuitions. Just then I reached the Singing Highway, and I swear I began hearing the same lyric repeating over and over again: "a shortcut to the path with heart/ a shortcut to the path with heart/ a shortcut to the path with heart." Coincidence? I don't think so.

Hehe, it's the gravel size in the asphalt mix that determines the frequency and quality of the sound. Sometimes roads are grooved intentionally to aid water runoff, too. Usually it will be an older road with a particularly distinct sound, where the asphalt has receeded a bit and the gravel is the primary contact surface for the tires.

As for the lyrics you hear, they're based on whatever you happen to be thinking about at the time. The frequency of the noise from the highway sounds like voices, and your mind fills it up with words.
