Driving home today from work, I noticed some construction that had the 3 lane road down to one lane. Thankfully, or so I thought it was going the opposite way as me. The traffic was backed up for miles. I crossed the bridge, and it was still backed up. So much so that people were getting off at my usual exit to try and go a different way. This caused me to be stuck in traffic for an extra 10 minutes to get around these people. But then I noticed, that the bums were out in greater number, all taking advantage of the stopped traffic to pan for more money.
Once I got through all the traffic, I noticed tons of people standing at the bus stations along the rest of my way home. I bet all the buses are running late as well. I think all in all that 1 mile stretch of road that was down to one lane probably effected the entire city tonight. So much so that most people probably don't even realize why they are late, stuck in traffic, or waiting on a bus.
Just thought I'd babble on about this a little bit so people can understand a little bit more how we are all linked together in those mysterious ways. Be nice to your neighbor okay?
