The parking lot

Thats my new name for I-95 and downtown Miami. I was running a little bit late this morning and I-95 was just a parking lot! Normally after the airport exit, things start to pick up again and I can maybe hit like 70 mph but not today, today I think I caught a glimpse of what traffic would be like if I left at around 8 am instead of 7 am.

I thought that was bad enough, but in Miami downtown thery're doing a whole bunch of construction and some genius has decided in his infinate wisdom to change the way some of the roads work. Some east bound roads now go west, some one way streets are now two way streets. I can already tell that this is having an adverse effect on traffic because I was able to turn off my car and just listen to my iPod for 10 minutes while I just watched the pretty traffic lights change color but me not moving one inch forward. Needless to say I got to work about an hour later than I wanted to so that means my butt is stuck here till 6pm. Oh well, at least its almost lunch time :)
