Edith was a retired librarian from Wilmot. At 90 years, she old was still driving and was known around town as a “terror on the road.”
Edith's friend Helen caught a ride with her one day. As they approached the yield sign, Edith going along at a good clip, Helen spotted a car approaching the intersection, also at a good clip. Instead of yielding, Edith kept a-going.
“Edith, Edith,” Helen yelled, “yield!”
“No,” Edith said. “I yielded last time!”
After that, Helen and friends referred to that intersection as “Edith’s Alternate Yield.”
