Day Two - Yawn.
I'm still providing daily coverage of the I-90 down-to-one-lane-road-construction supposed nightmare. The only thing is...I have no nightmare to report. No one that I've heard of who is commuting from the Eastside to Seattle has experienced any sort of delay during the morning OR evening commutes.
(Actually, there was that car accident in Issaquah yesterday afternoon, but it had nothing to do with I-90.)
My correspondents and contributors have been taking earlier buses. Maybe you've been stuck in Traffic later in the day. If so, you need to send in your story so I can post it and we can all read something interesting. Send pics, too, or we'll think you're making it up and we will heckle you.
Day Two - A.M. and P.M. Commutes
Certainly all of the usual commuters that avoided any traffic nastiness yesterday heard tales of how pleasant it was and decided to chance it, right? Telecommuting only got them so far and they have to go in to the office to get more work or sit through a PowerPoint, right?
Not necessarily. Let's read about today's adventures:
The 554 - Issaquah to Seattle - Nothing. No traffic. No hassle.
The Tuesday morning commute over I-90. Hardly looks like a Buspocalypse to me - but that's the silliness in ending something with "alypse." It's all drama and rarely catastrophic.
The 214 - Issaquah to Seattle - Nothing. No traffic. No hassle.
The 252 - Kingsgate to Downtown Seattle - Nothing. No traffic. No hassle. People were asking the bus driver about why the lanes were so clear and he said all week-long construction projects are like this. They start out really smooth, and by the end of the week it's total madness. A full on Goat rodeo. So stay tuned. Something might happen.
The 255 - The Briiiiickyard to Downtown Seattle - Nothing. No traffic. No hassle.
I did a Google Search for "goat rodeo" and several interesting options came up. One of them is a goat herding monkey riding a dog.
Look at his little chaps!
Ever had ADHD and done a Google search? You never know what you'll find. There are a trillion random tangents at your fingertips. Here is the closest thing I could find to a goat rodeo - not because it's in a rodeo setting, but it is unpredictable and clusterfuckish...goats in a Tree in Morocco:
Take care of your goats. It's not like they grow on trees.
If I was a goat, I would totally climb trees. Not only to eat the leaves...to also be a complete billy goat freak.
Here's hoping something of note happens tomorrow. Otherwise I will post more pictures of herds of goats in trees. Like anyone could get enough tree-climbing goats....
