Bob & Weave

That is the only way I can describe the wreckage of a highway that was IH 10 between the 10/410 interchange and downtown. The quality of the roads are deplorable to say the least, asphalt has been scraped up to remove old lane dividers, drainage gates have been installed and constant lane rearrangement has caused these conditions.

I was amazed that I wasn’t hit on my way to work today by some lady in a maxima that couldn’t seem to stay in her lane, but refused to simply let me get by her in the right lane. Let me explain this: I was driving in the right lane, which has fewer cars since it is right next to a concrete barrier. The maxima lady is in the center lane and starts to swerve into my lane as I creep past her. I honked my horn to get her arse to wake up and be more alert. This didn’t seem to work because it was only a matter of time before she started over again. This time I was passed her, but only after making a point of passing her; *sigh*.

Granted the lanes were re-arranged again this weekend, and I fell victim to the traffic that was piled up in the westbound lanes of IH 10 on Sunday. It was a terrible feeling being stuck in traffic, half nauseated and very thirsty. I sat in traffic for 40 minutes on my way home, and on my way I got to see some jackass in his camaro doing burnouts on the closed freeway area - nice abuse of power "city worker". I hope your rotors have some nice grooves in them, brake pads worn down to nubs and tires ball - all because you wanted to be Johnny Bad-ass on a sunday morning.

Enough of this putrid swill, its enough to give anyone a migraine if they think about it too much.

Oh yea the new phrase to yell on a day of frustration; compliments of Vanilla Sky: "Tech Support!!!" or "Tech Support; Its a Nightmare!"
