T is for traffic

I was caught in terrible traffic on my way home this afternoon due to the damage of an overpass (in H1 freeway) by a hydraulic excavator truck...of the military(tnx for serving the country). According to the news, they will be able to fix the problem overnight the way Jesus can resurrect a dilapidated temple in 3 days. Fixing the problem is no joke because they have to destroy the concrete overpass so it won't pose any lethal threat to motorists by collapsing anytime in the course of its imminent deterioration. Good luck to our Honolulu city engineers! You guys will be needing gallons of frapuccino so better ask the governor now before she goes to bed. But anyhow, I am currently dreading of going to the university tomorrow and drive back and forth for a grand total of 5 hours; 5 hours of being tortured under the scorching heat as my calloused butt endures the pain of sitting beyond the tolerable human capacity. Sigh. Because most of us drivers were tired, some incidental accidents happened piece by piece on my way home. Here's one, 3 sedans rear-ended each other. Just imagine my shock when I was only a few feet away from them. It literally happened beside my car. WTF. Ambulance/police sirens can be heard every ~ 30 minutes as they go to the main scene or who knows if they rushed to the so-called incidental accidents that I was saying. But boy, there were a lot of them. We, the poor commuters, were diverted to use alternative route/s wherein we can park our car, open the window, raise the hood(in case you overheat), turn on the headlights, bring out the cooler, open the beer, turn on the music...oops did I just say rave party? Blah! But more seriously, we have to move inch by inch like a turtle should we decide to continue the ordeal. I am still thankful though because this experience I've been ranting about is nothing compared to what I have experienced in Manila. Actually they could've been the same except for the ~ 3 ft. deep of floodwater in Manila everytime the great deluge attacks the mortals. This is the worst scenario that could ever happen to anyone by far. Thanks to friends whom I talked with on the phone to shield if not to kill the early evening monotony and the tiredness from a 4 consecutive day of hospital work. You know how it is. Just a message to all you f**ckn'crane-carrying trucks, double, triple or even quarter decker buses around(for purposes of probability in the future), make sure to check your vehicle headway clearance before you promenade your big boys on the freeway or else you'll be at the mercy of taxpayers' groundswell of debauchery. Mwahaha.
