Live: From the Road

Wow. Cluster-fuck does not even begin to describe the state of affairs on the road. 150 miles. 16 hours. Greatness. Gridlock for 8 hours on 59 South, in which period I travelled a total of 4.6 miles (on the first day it hit 100 degrees this year, no less). There were cars broken down, and cars out of gas EVERYWHERE. The median on I10 was a parking lot. Waller and Colombus counties are completely sold out of gas - as in, competely sold out. People in La Grange (my temporary residence) have cleaned out the local HEB. No meat, no milk, no eggs. It's just silly. The worse part is going to be getting back IN town tomorrow evening or Sunday... Oh yay.

P.S. Not everyone survived the Exodus. Dre, my gerbil, died of heat stroke during said gridlock. He will be missed. R.I.P. Dre.

Holy crap, what a frickin' nightmare. Hope you make it home safe, and sorry to hear about your gerbil.

I was actually in Miami the day before Hurricane Andrew hit, and it took us about that long to go 200 miles. People driving on the grass, on the median, making their own roads.

I know how crazy that can be.

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward to your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
