Here's To I-5, The Gut

 

How Do They Do It Everyday?

Here's to Seattle traffic.  A city with a waist.  Pinch it down to a couple of lanes in the downtown of a large city!! Yes! For that will surely cause all mankind to take the bus and/or train.  Oh yes, it will!//

Praise to those city planners who so mote it be!

Here's to those whose religion requires that they never let anyone into traffic. 

And also, here's to those frantic rabbits who can not endure space in front of my car, and must plunge thereinto!

Here's to the drivers of Lexus, BMW and Acura, who require to be in front, no matter what it takes.

(PS, you don't really think I am one of those old dears driving slowly down the freeway?)

Here's to the young men in small sedans who show us how to switch lanes most erratically.

Here's to the young females who seem to not see other traffic, maybe it's because they can't see over the dashboard.

Here's to the bawdy filthy campers, those befoulers of the freeway verges. But also to the team we saw clearing one filthopolis up.

Must not forget Sea Tac and their contradictory signage.  Ahem. I guess they like people to route around the whole thing a couple of times, just for the merriment of it.

AND YET!

Miraculously, and beyond all sense and reason, it goes along fairly well with a minimum of vehicular contact!  

I am in amazement and wonder at the glory of it all!
