Long Commuting Day

We had the Chinese President visiting Seattle. For security and safety reasons they closed our freeway down when he was headed to places like the Boeing plant. (They do this when Obama is here as well) Made for a very long commute this morning as the city became gridlocked. It took about 2 hours to drive 6 miles.

Hard to complain though as this man will have his country spend billions with our state (17.3 billion today alone for the purchase of new airplanes). The economy can use this and his country will eat a lot of apples and other agriculture from our farmers as well. Good for our state and worth a 2 hour commute.

Unfortunately my drive home was almost as bad due to an accident that killed folks and shut down one of the main highways through the city. Once again creating a gridlock on the other highway. This whole accident was darn sad as it was mostly young college students and tourists that were hurt. With 4 deaths and 50 others in the hospital, 25 of them in ICU wards that makes my long commute certainly not important.

Here is hoping you all had an easier day.

Peace, Health and Happiness.
