I just got out of the 395 tunnel at New York Ave. ARGH - it is so frustrating! That road is always busy- it doesn't matter what time of day and on top of that they are repaving New York Avenue. Work begins for the pavers at about 9pm and goes through the night so they don't disrupt the heavy traffic times...which is basically all the time! It just chaps me that drivers are aware that the left lane is basically nonexistent at the light, yet they choose to drive in that lane because somehow it is faster. Finally once we get to the light at the end of the tunnel we have to merge, which is fine, but not when like three cars in the left lane want to come in the right lane because their lane ended. Common people, you knew that lane was going to end like 20 minutes ago when you got in it. Frustrating...that is all I can say!
The bright side, we had Tim the Welsh in the car with us entertaining us with stories. Tim the Welsh is actually the reason we were out and about at 10:30 pm on a school night, we got to pick him up from the airport, and he is staying with us through the weekend. We are lucky to have such a great friend, one who will even entertain us when I am running off my temper at the schnivers in front of me.
Welcome back to DC TtW! I guess DC wanted to give you a proper welcome as well. Traffic.

Thanks, Mrs.
Great to be here - however fleeting. Though there was nothing fleeting about the journey through that there tunnel. Dang those slow construction workers. And dang those pesky drivers who don't heed construction signage. Dang them. Dang them all.
