Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Weather, like in the picture, but a little warmer. Things are melting.
Today I drove 100 km just in town and had no fun doing it.
9:30 appointment in the NW, no problem on Crowchild
Two more appointments close to home
6:30 (evening) back to the NW, this time Crowchild northbound was backed up horribly from about 37th Ave. SW and it took 30 minutes at least for what should be a 5-minute stretch of the trip. This had something to do with the new LRT being built, but I’m not sure what exactly. Going home later at night we went a different way, no problems.
The windshield is dirty like in this picture. Must get to the car wash.
Oh, and I was really disgusted by the discourteous drivers on that northbound trip in the evening. It’s beyond rudeness. People aggressively race forward to prevent others from making lane changes. I saw it done and I had it done to me.
I avoid rush hour driving for a reason. These jerks cause accidents. I hope they pay triple my insurance rates.
