So today Winnie Cooper and S-Beezy (Shari) were going to see Bruno.
I started driving up to the theater, the highway was moving very slowly. So I decided to try and cut across the city using the Red Hill Valley Park way.
You know the one they spent $220 million dollars to construct. well that was a huge mistake.
After exiting the on ramp for the Parkway almost immediately it came to a stand still. It was so bad people turned off their cars and started walking around.
Over the past few days it had been raining in buckets. Today was no exception. So I figured it was an accident. However it turns out it had rained so heavily that the dip in the Parkway had accumulated so much water it was flowing over the median. Traffic was backed up for miles! No exaggeration.
There was only two ways we were going to move.
1-we wait for the sun to come and evaporate the water.
2- we start turning around on the highway.
Being that it was the coldest July on record, we’d be stuck there till October for that to happen. So I said to people walking around this (option 2) can only work if everyone is co-operating.
Driving on the shoulder against traffic, it was fun!
Fortunately everyone was just as annoyed with sitting in traffic as I was and everything went smoothly.
But by this time the movie was well underway so I drove back home.
Maybe next time Bruno, maybe next time.
This weather is starting to get to me! It’s like winter but rain instead of snow…where is my sunshine?
