Timing...

Timing is everything.  We were heading out to do some shopping.  The destination took us to a busy intersection along Loop 101... we discussed taking a different exit and then going on a secondary road.  Had we been on the scoots, we wouldn't be on this Loop highway, but we were in the car.  It was right before the spring training baseball games, and there are stadiums on either side of this exit.

Bad move.  It took us 45 minutes to go about 1/4 mile.  During that time, people were getting riled, cutting in front of each other... I understand how road rage can overcome you, if you had to deal with this every day.  Fortunately, we weren't on a schedule, the air conditioner was keeping us comfortable, and my belly wasn't growling too much.

We now know to avoid this intersection for a couple hours before game time.  When we were done shopping and ready to head home, I just had to see if the gridlock had let up... yep.

And, we're heading back to that area to meet Steph and Dan for supper... hopefully well after the games have let out.  ;-)
