Carmageddon

Yep, that's right. Carmageddon. The whole State of California is going to shut down this weekend because 10 miles of the 405 (yes "the" 405) are going to be shut down from Midnight Friday to 6 am Monday. Rumor has it that there are signs on freeways as far as San Francisco warning people of the horror. How sad is it that in our society one 10 mile stretch of freeway is scaring the entire state. I live 40 miles away and my exit to my local freeway warns of the shut down.

All about the upcoming Carmageddon

Jet Blue sold $4 tickets on a PLANE detour....600 tickets sold out in 2 hours. Yes, a plane ride from one side of the city to the other. They warn people not to leave their homes.

You know what might help? Public transportation...but no, not in LA. Everyone is dependent on their cars. So, I guess, in this case, I am glad that we live in the suburbs - the far, far suburbs. So I don't have to deal with upcoming gridlock...not that I leave my house much anyway ;)
