Interesting Week

This week has been an interesting one from my perspective. First off on Tuesday I was on my way home from work when traffic comes to a dead stop. So I did what everyone in front of me was doing I moved over a lane. It turned out that they were doing construction at a major intersection. Of course there were no signs that morning or the day before to warn of the construction. They had a sign up about 1 mile from the actual intersection. So as I am sitting there in this long line of traffic I see cars in the lane that is closed thinking oh we can get ahead of everybody by driving in the closed lane. Dumb idiots. So after this jackass goes flying by me at 60 miles an hour in a closed lane I changed how I drive through construction zones. I was also behind a van during all this so instead of staying directly behind the vehicle in front of me I move over just a little bit so I am part in my lane and the lane that is closed. So if you are one of those jackasses who think that you can cheat in a construction zone your going to have to hit me first before you get by me. So what should have been a 30 minute easy commute turned into a 45 minute one way nightmare. Needless to say I have found another route around the nightmare that is a construction zone for now.
We did also get some very much needed rain this week. Although we are still in a rain deficit for this year it was enough rain. We are also due for some more rain today and tomorrow as this system is hanging around our area.
