do the FRIDAY happy dance
All hail FRIDAY! And today is the 19th day of the second month, the 50th day of 2016 with only 309 shopping days left until Christmas. It is also: In 197, the Romans are back in the news for the Battle of Lugdunum, the bloodiest battle between Roman armies.
There have been many discussions about what threat terrorists pose to Washington DC. Dirty bombs, chemical warfare, plagues – these are usually what is bandied about as risks. My comment has always been that if I was trying to maximize the damage done to the area, I would take out the two commuting choke points – the Woodrow Wilsonand American Legion Memorialbridges. Today we got a taste of what would happen if that major traffic artery was closed – 495, the beltway that circles around DC, was shut down in the early morning hours due to a horrific truck accident. It was still mostly shut during rush hour as the investigation and clean up continued as only a couple lanes on the inner loop were able to get by. And the result? There was gridlock in the surrounding areas, sometimes in places or neighborhoods you wouldn’t expect any traffic as everything backed up and stopped. Commutes stretched out, tempers frayed, fender-benders multiplied and folks arrived at work quite late, ruffled and annoyed. Six hours later, the residual delays are still quite apparent and officials are hoping it clears up before the Friday evening rush hour. Just imagine if it was closed for months or even years!
Although it was a short [ very short – only two days] work week for me, I am really very glad that the weekend is beckoning. Other than hopefully getting to spend some time with my daughter’s family Saturday afternoon, I have no real plans other than a few chores [which I may opt to ignore anyway]
