Currently: v. v. tired
Usually, I reserve my road rage and vivid vituperation for the great state of New York, the land where they close bridges and major throughways with little notice and seemingly gay abandon. Oh, and they close roads for accidents. Also? For no good reason.
However, major style points have been awarded today to the great barren wasteland of northern Maryland. Usually this stretch is terribly boring and my least favorite segment of the DC-NY commute, the overall horribleness of which I seek to circumvent by driving through the night. The scenery is non-existent, radio and cell reception drop to historic lows, and the driver is always tired and cranky by this point in the drive, whichever the direction of travel. Keeping in mind all of that, whittling I-95 down to one lane of traffic so that 4 miles takes roughly 2 hours is just adding insult to injury! Three hours to get out of Maryland in the middle of the night! While I understand in theory why all roads between DC and NY simply had to be finishing up construction before the 4th of July snarl I think I'm justifiably grumpy that I seem to have caught all of the pre-holiday traffic bounty. Anyway, the point is that I hate you too, Maryland!!!
GAH! ERG! And many other expletives shouted at the inside of my car!
