My ordeal, part 2
OK, so it wasn't so much and ordeal as it is whining. I get it. However, it was a PAIN IN THE MOTHERFUCKING ASS. I was in Waco this afternoon for two and a half hours. Just for reference, it normally takes me less than 6 minutes to flye through Waco. Seriously, I timed it once when I was trying to beat my previous best for a trip from Dallas to Austin (two hours fifteen minutes. Top that, bitches).
If ever there was a testament to the need for expansion on 35 NOW, today was it. TTC 35 might be ready for traffic in 13 and that's not soon enough. The Lege and Perry have to act now and they have to make them freeways... if the economy is to a keep growing in Texas, it's vital that the surplus everyone in Austin is crowing about be used to fund a rebuild of the 35 freeway.
While heading into hour two I decided to pull out my camera as I noticed people getting out of their cars.
Some people were out playing football in the ROW on the frontage road. I'm not kidding. This was about the time my bladder was about to go POP.
This is the dickhead who cut me off about an hour before the picture was taken. I guess he took this literally.
The offending tractor trailer. No idea how the driver is doing.
The remainder of the trailer.
Some how a crane was involved.
Smooth sailing for me, not so much for the northbound folks. As I passed them I though 'sucks to be y'all'. The jam up went on for miles but at least their frontage road was moving. Occasionally, so were their main lanes.
