MOTHERFUCKER!

I know I shouldn't talk (write) like that. I know this. But when I am 5 miles, and a mere 5 freeway minutes from my home, and I have to come to a complete stop on the freeway, I get a little perturbed. When it takes me 20 minutes to go 4 miles, I become agitated. And when I find out, at the 4th mile, that the reason I am getting home 25 minutes later than I would like is because there is an accident ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, I get goddamned irate! Son of a BITCH!

OH

MY

GOD

So yeah, there was an accident on the other side of the freeway. There were ambulances, fire trucks, CHPs, miscellaneous cars and a line of traffic behind all this crap as far as the eye could see. It appeared a Jeep or something had probably rolled over. But that shit was on the other side of the freeway, which is 4-5 lanes on each side and divided by a big barrier. WHY does that require the people on my side of the freeway to slow down? It doesn't! So after mile 4, suddenly I go from 10 mph to 65. For my last mile home. Whatever.

That shit irritates me!

Other than that, it was a good day. I got a lot done, and I should be able to get issue 2 of my newsletter out on time, this Friday. But those MFers in front of me tomorrow better be prepared to step on the gas, 'cuz I'm attaching missiles to the front of my Pathfinder tonight. Watch out!

i hate when everyone stops because of an accident on the other side of the freeway... at least it's not like LA. sometimes, traffic will just clear up. for no fucking reason. no accident. no extra lanes. nothing....

THAT pisses me off.

Grrrace: We get that, too -- sad to say I often feel better when there is actually a REASON for all the stoppage . . . but the rubbernecking thing is just maddening no matter what!
