Traffic Police

Traffic was out of control this morning for some reason. I don't have a long commute, maybe 10-15 minutes. This morning though, I got stuck at two separate lights for two cycles. That's not the funny thing though. See, there was some road construction along the way, and they had the right lane blocked off. But for some reason, there was a van that decided to weave through the cones and continue using the right lane. Eventually he came upon a rather large digger on his right, and he was afraid to pass it. He stopped, and a construction worker walked out in front of his van. The construction worker appeared to be a bit incredulous that the guy had bypassed the cones. He threw his arms up in the air in exasperation as if to say, "How could you ignore my orange cones? They were right there! You are disobeying the laws of the universe!!" There was a brief exchange of words, and then the light turned green and I had to miss the end of the show. I had to laugh though, because, seriously, who does just decide to dodge the orange cones in a minivan on the way in to work on a Tuesday? One more thing on this great morning---Happy Happy Birthday to P&AF!

I stole one of those cones once in high school. I was paranoid for like three years that there was a C.S.I. unit piecing together a trail of evidence back to me. I turned it into a found art sculpture in college. Moron 6 is lucky Kurt Rambis wasn't cruising his alma matter when they played Santa Clara. He has no tolerance for marginally talented pop acts, believe me.
