Proper allocation of City Resources
Apr. 26th, 2005 08:40 amDespite sleeping in a bit this morning, and all of the other activities that occurred, I nearly made it to work on time. Nearly.
What prevented me? A brace of policemen, causing massive traffic backup and snarliness by running a speed trap on I-435. Because people always speed on the clogged highway during morning rush hour. (Note for those unfamiliar with Kansas City traffic patterns: If you can get up to the speed limit on 435 between 7 and 9 a.m., and maintain that speed for more than a mile, this is accounted a major victory against fate, circumstance, and the universe in general.) No doubt, similarly valorous souls were also stationed in the Downtown Loop, and lo, even unto the Grandview Triangle.
Feh.
