Traffic Stress!!!

My god. What was in the air last night?

I've gone back on the radio, on the weekends, doing traffic reports. I agreed to this because weekends are far less stressful than weekdays. At least they USED to be!

Yesterday was hellish! Not only were there 40 minute delays to travel through a 3 mile stretch of construction, but we had a 9 mile back-up due to a fatality accident. And, I kept hearing reports over the police scanner about road rage, cars heading south in the north bound lanes of the highway and, worst of all, 2 separate reports of "rolling domestic": violence happening inside a car, between the occupants. One of these reports stated that the driver, a woman, was being choked by the passenger, a man, and that she was trying to jump out of the car!

I checked my horoscope yesterday and it told me to "check my anger" this week - apparently the stars and planets are aligned in such a way as to cause tension.

Or maybe people are coming apart at the seems due to the economy?

Whatever the case, yesterday was a day I don't want to repeat, any time soon.
