Getting Excited…

RWA is less than a week away ladies and gents and I am getting excited.  I feel like I have so much to do beforehand yet all this 'little' tasks can take so much of your time.

Part of the problem is the construction going on all over the city roads. One day the road is clear, the next you're waiting behind twenty or so cars trying to get through another construction zone.   The odd thing is there have been quite a few rather large sinkholes popping up here and there.  You always see this type of thing in sci-fi movies but you never think it could happen to you.  Could you imagine seeing the car directly in front of you just disappear.  Gone.  Nada.  Kaput.  If you aren't tail gating (you know who you are !) and have quick enough reflexes to stop your vehicle before you end up joining the other less fortunate car, you're probably safe but more than a little shocked.  At that point you may find the more disturbing scenes from War Of The Worlds coming to mind (I would).  Once you get over your own imaginings and come to realize that the world is not ending or being attacked by hostile aliens, you may even call someone for help so the poor guy in the unlucky car isn't trapped there indefinitely.

Hmm… I wonder if his/her boss would believe them when they had to call and tell them why he/she couldn't make it in to work today.  I can just hear it, "I'm sorry but I can't make it in to work today.  The earth opened up and swallowed my car… with ME in it."

Love to hear that conversation.
