  1. Blah, Again

    Yesterday was a tough day. Today has been tougher. I need (another) vacation. That’s a common theme around here.

    I don’t have to work in the office tomorrow. That’s nice. Maybe if I get up early enough I’ll have some time to work on those two new songs I wrote on Sunday. They both need two tracks of vocals and at least one track of lead guitar. Maybe I can get some of that done tomorrow and then the rest on Friday. We’ll see.

    The last two work days (including today, which is down to the final 36 minutes) have been insanely, absurdly, busy. I haven’t had a minute to catch my breath. It’s frustrating. I’ll be heading home soon for the day. Hopefully I won’t have a repeat of last night’s commute. There was an accident on route 495. Google Maps detoured me around it, but it also detoured 1000000 other commuters and it resulted in a monster traffic jam on a side street. It cost me more than half an hour of my life.

    On unrelated commute news, I had to stop at a rest area on route 128 today in order to get gas. My tank was almost empty. I had enough gas to get me the rest of the way to work, but not enough to get my home afterward. As I was pumping gas, I saw something I’d never seen before. I saw a tractor trailer truck… do a donut. Sort of. He pulled out of a parking spot. He should have turned right and gotten onto the highway. He didn’t. He turned left… and kept turning left… he did a full 360 degree turn. Effectively he did a donut, but a donut in slow motion. He also blocked the ramp onto the highway and had 3–4 cars stuck waiting for him to get his dumb ass out of the way. It was a very weird thing.

    Okay. I have 31 minutes left in my work day. Time to hit publish and squeeze in some more work. Thanks for reading my pointless, useless, bullshit. I appreciate the effort. I’ll try to write something more interesting tomorrow.

  6. Summer means school & college holidays, & people try to get to cool places, or places with a bit if nature to feel good. An escape from the dystopia of city living

    Unfortunately they bring their dystopia with them. While in the guise of creating ease of "everything" even more "shady" things are done.

    This road had large, old shade giving trees, all removed to create more space. Instead, now, relentless sun, relentless traffic. An escape to harsh reality.

  11. 🚗🍷 Oh la la! Paris’s mayor thinks she’s the Picasso of public policy by scribbling out parking spaces and calling it a masterpiece. Meanwhile, Parisians are left playing musical chairs with their cars—guess the tourists will just have to keep Instagramming the Eiffel Tower from the traffic jam! 😂 #TrèsBienManagement

  15. Oh, it’s that time again. Revive I-5 closing the northbound lanes on the ship canal bridge which means chaos for traffic everywhere north of that. It took me over an hour to get down to Southlake Union when that is a normal 30 minute trip in traffic for me. #Seattle #WSDOT #ReviveI5 #TrafficJam

  17. DeepSeek tries to jazz up #transformers by asking, "What if we just added more lanes to the highway?" 🚗💥 Spoiler alert: it's still a traffic jam of 2016 residual connections, folks. 🙄 But hey, let's applaud them for reinventing wheels with extra spokes! 🎉

  19. A city run brought the city to a halt.

    Hours of traffic, stranded commuters, confused diversions — today’s Kolkata marathon exposed serious planning gaps. Public events must celebrate people, not inconvenience them.

  22. Used to be very stressed when driving in the morning to work and stuck in the traffic jam...
    Nowdays I drove my wife to work every morning (40-50 min. in one way) and I'm unexpectedly calm.... I know, we are in time and we will arrive 30 min. earlier every day, and then I still have so much time to get home or to the office before I have to work...
    So I'm chilling in the traffic jam, listening great music, and just enjoying life.

    Of course the new car helps, I can take all the route electric.

  26. 🚗💸 Manhattan congestion pricing is TOTALLY "predictable" — like predicting that New York City might have a traffic problem. The article spends more time trying to sell subscriptions than explaining why you're paying more to sit in a traffic jam. 🙄✨

  28. I Am Trying

    I am trying today. I am doing my best. My best, however, ain’t gonna be good enough.

    I am trying to not get mentally bogged down by idiotic shit going on in the federal government. I just want to have a day where I ignore the morons and concentrate on work for a change. Something tells me I am not going to be terribly successful in this endeavor though. Don’t get my wrong, my work is getting done. No worries there. I just find myself distracted by all the other bullshit.

    I am in the office again today. This makes four business days in a row for me. Ugh. Yesterday I left the house at 7:30 and got to work at 9:10. Today I left the house at 7:20 (makes sense, right?) and got to work at 9:10. Oh for crying out loud.

    On the way out the door I told the cats to take care of my wife while I am out. I always tell them that. I don’t know if they ever listen though. They aren’t really team players, you know? They just do their own thing and mostly ignore anything I say. They’re cats that way.

  29. 🚂✨ Oh wow, a company in #NYC is so avant-garde it built a choo-choo station to dodge the traffic jam of trucks. Because, you know, #trains are the future—welcome to the 19th century, folks! 🤦‍♂️ Also, fastcompany.com kindly asks you to do a little dance with your browser settings. 🕺🔒

  30. Traffic Sucks

    I backed out of the driveway at 7:29am. At that time the GPS app (Waze) was already telling me I was going to be late to work. My ETA was 9:03. The app detoured me off of my normal route less than half a mile from my house…

    …and it was all downhill from there.

    At about 8:50 I still had 10 miles to go and Waze started recalculating. My ETA started going up… fast. There was an accident on route 128 South (that’s route 95 for all of you non-locals) right at the junction with the Mass Pike (route 90, for all of you non-locals). I pulled into a parking spot at work at 9:30.

    Nine. Fucking. Thirty.

    So tell me, how’s your fucking Thursday morning treating you? Nothing like a two hour drive as your democracy is collapsing to make you feel good about the state of the world, know what I mean?

    Here’s a cat. Enjoy.

  31. Missed It

    There was an accident on route 128 South. It made me late for work. Not super late, just a couple of minutes. A car hit the barrier on the left side of the road. It took quite a long time to get around.

    I tried to take a picture as I drove passed. I blindly pointed my phone at the accident and did not take my eyes off the road. This is what I got.

    Masterpiece. Pure stable genius.
