Traffic, A Theme Thursday Ramble

With (slight) apologies to Dodgers Fans.

Traffic is:
Another drink celebrating opening night because it's going to be a mess out there anyway.

Traffic is:
Wet, sleeting rain that barrels down from they sky and delays game 5.

Traffic is:
Relief at not having to be in Center City when Brad Lidge throws that last strike out.

Traffic is:
Pajama-clad faithful wandering dazed through the blocked off street of my sleepy hamlet.

Did we just win?

Traffic is:
Daddy stuck and missing trick-or-treating as the city tries to cope with the millions of fans attending the parade.

But he does make it home in time to test out the Butterfingers.

Traffic is:
Another beer after a different show because it's going to be a mess out there.

Haven't we done this before?

Traffic is:
Actors insisting on walking to Broad Street to join in the city's joy.

It all seems so familiar.

Traffic is:
Circuitous routes around the city, knowing what streets to avoid.

Traffic is:
All right with me because.....

WE'RE GONNA DO IT AGAIN!

  4. So did the Phillies win? I know a few fans. Actually, the Olympics here in 2000 had an amazing vibe and due to extra public transport, the traffic was a doddle! Wish they could do that all the time. Then the kids were on school holidays too so there weren't any mummies on the road dropping their darlings off in 40km school zones.

  9. Matty: I love that, I may have to steal it. Cali Girl, when I read your blog, I felt bad about posting this (but not for long : ) ) Megan, glad you'll be routing for the phillies, we'll need it. Otin, I believe you mean when the Phils beat the Yanks! And Brian, sorry, we're fresh out of butterfingers!
