Straightaway Swerve

I lined up my wheels with the straight strip of polished tile running right between the dining chairs! Vroom! I zipped forward at full tilt, feeling every bit of the smooth track underneath. Halfway through, my nose bumped right into the thick, raised edge of a woven floor mat with a muffled clatter. No trouble—I gave a bouncy spin, swerved hard around a sturdy wooden chair leg, and coasted to a halt in the warm glow under the counter. A quick pivot makes every track wide open!
