parkingOh god, kill me now. I just spent two hours parking on the 401. I don't even know why. I was actually doing pretty well, too. The radio said there was some horrible pile-up around Bowmanville and I deftly avoided that mess by taking Taunton Rd to Hwy 35/115 after the 407 ended. The weather was crappy, but I was making good time, considering the detour. I stopped for supper and to phone home to give an ETA at Port Hope. The temperature was dropping and the salters were on the road, so I figured I'd give them a chance to do their job. No problem. I get back on the 401 and traffic is pretty good for a bit. Then it just stops. No warning, no slow-down, it just stops dead about ten minutes before I would have hit Grafton. And doesn't move. At all. For two hours. I got a few rounds of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance in. I would have been fine if I didn't have to go to the bathroom. When things finally started moving again, I took the next exit off and drove to Belleville on Hwy 2. The Tim Hortons in Trenton was all abuzz with speculation, but nobody knew anything. There are no traffic reports at 11pm. What a perfectly crappy end to a crappy day. My laptop came in this afternoon sometime, but I didn't get the call until after they closed. I was hoping I'd be able to play with it this weekend. comments:
