Diamond Lane Mnemonics

So, K and I call the diamond/carpool/high occupancy lane "the carp" as a really fast way to say carpool when one is on the fwy driving 75 mph with usual nasty type Beemer drivers on our tail.

Our friends K, F and M on their recent visit spun out the ideas. Will do some graphics and links soon, but here's the raw list in part! 8-)

Marilyn
[diamonds are a girls' best friend, etc.]

FDL (pronounced "Fidde")
[fwy diamond lane - close competitor to Carp!]

HOVR (pronounced "Hover")
high occupancy vehicle....runway?!
