Middle of the Road?
...
We've written before about the silly amusement we get from the local traffic reports, which feel compelled to tell radio listeners what foreign object is blocking traffic. We have a list on our fridge of all the road obstructions we hear about.
Apparently, we're not the only ones who pay attention to this. Sheri sent me this link to a Perspective on our local public radio station.
And for our blog readers, who might not be paying close attention to Bay Area traffic reports, here's a sampling off the fridge:
metal pipes
wooden pallets
an injured goose
a rocking chair
a sign
a chair
plywood
a bicycle
a big bag of debris
a huge bumper
a couple of mattresses
a large black rubber mat
sand, and pieces of chicken
a box spring
large boxes of ... something
a couch

For the life of me, I cannot fathom why the traffic reporters tell us this stuff. Okay, I can. They must be bored out of their skulls, and this lessens the tedium.
And it sure amuses idiots like me and Robb.

I get so much glee out of the fact that we're being told that a man in a gorilla suit, running on the median strip, waving at motorists is slowing traffic.
I would *never* want this to end!!!
