Traffic this morning was OUT OF CONTROL. Okay, granted, it was raining (and it is still raining), and for all practical purposes Hell may as well have just gone on and frozen over. Drivers in central Texas cannot drive, PERIOD. It does not matter if it is 70 degrees outside with a light north wind, 25% humidity and high noon, drivers in central Texas cannot drive. They can't drive when it is a beautiful day, they can't drive when there is ice or snow on the ground, they cannot drive when it has been raining for the last five minutes. They need therapy. They need to face facts that they need to leave earlier, not drive faster. It was a grueling drive in to the city, and I have to tell you, I am not at all sure jut how this truck on the service road did it, but he did make for an interesting drive-by. Add that to the list of road closures, low-water-crossing closures, the threat of flash-flooding AND the fact that drivers in central Texas cannot drive, and you have the makings of (at least) the third or fourth circle of Hell on the highways.It has rained most of the day today, and we (those of us that live on the edge of nowhere), have received lost to 3.5" of accumulated rain in the past four days, and we are delighted with that. Austin has received more rain than we have, but that is okay with us too.
Still more rain predicted for the rest of the week, and I will let you know how that goes.
Deeds, Actions, Changes, RAIN, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
