Today's my "early" day, so after work, I drive down to my folk’s house (110 miles south) to do a little work on my Dad’s car.
Dear old Dad is 80+ now and he had been trying to fix something on the Buick, but he just wasn’t quite strong enough to unscrew some of the offending bolts.
So the fix turned out to be easy. They feed me, I bring them up to date with the kids, and then, since it’s still bright, I head north to Home.
I can go two ways to Home from their place: Through Princeton or past Rutgers.
For some reason, I decide to take the roads past Rutgers…right past the Rutgers football stadium.
The ride was going well until I start to hit traffic on Rt. 18 just south of Rutgers…then it’s gets heavier and turns into the most impossible gridlock I have ever seen.
Does anyone know what’s happening at Rutgers tonight? I didn’t!
Apparently they are playing some big football game against St Louis. And I drove right into that mess! For once, I wished I'd payed a bit more attention to the sports section in the paper.
It took me four hours to go 110 miles and two of those hours I only moved about 5 miles.
Maybe it would be different if I actually knew something about football…which I don’t.
From now on, I heading through Princeton….their teams *never* qualify for any big games. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
