🚗💸 Manhattan congestion pricing is TOTALLY "predictable" — like predicting that New York City might have a traffic problem. The article spends more time trying to sell subscriptions than explaining why you're paying more to sit in a traffic jam. 🙄✨

After spending five hours in a traffic jam I have to say, you Austrians are idiots in regards to managing roadworks. In no scenario is convoy control, causing a 20 kilometre backlog with a four hour delay for everyone, smarter or more safe or efficient than letting people merge two lanes on their own.

For the 3rd time in a row I participated today with the initiative 'Straatvinken' where citizens of Flanders (Belgium) count the traffic in their street for 1 hour. The counting is divided into subgroups like pedestrians, cyclists, cars, trucks...
It's interesting to compare the data afterwards with the previous years and to analyse in general how the proportions are between all these groups.

@Linux precisely that is what @AufstandLastGen failed to acknowledge:

• Causing a #TrafficJam during #RushHour didn't get them anything but angry #WageWorkers, as it doesn't affect the decisionmakers in charge!

Instead they acted as #UsefulIdiots to shove more #facist #PoliceState legislation forward and create even more absurd legal cases!

I Am Trying

I am trying today. I am doing my best. My best, however, ain’t gonna be good enough.

I am trying to not get mentally bogged down by idiotic shit going on in the federal government. I just want to have a day where I ignore the morons and concentrate on work for a change. Something tells me I am not going to be terribly successful in this endeavor though. Don’t get my wrong, my work is getting done. No worries there. I just find myself distracted by all the other bullshit.

I am in the office again today. This makes four business days in a row for me. Ugh. Yesterday I left the house at 7:30 and got to work at 9:10. Today I left the house at 7:20 (makes sense, right?) and got to work at 9:10. Oh for crying out loud.

On the way out the door I told the cats to take care of my wife while I am out. I always tell them that. I don’t know if they ever listen though. They aren’t really team players, you know? They just do their own thing and mostly ignore anything I say. They’re cats that way.

🚂✨ Oh wow, a company in #NYC is so avant-garde it built a choo-choo station to dodge the traffic jam of trucks. Because, you know, #trains are the future—welcome to the 19th century, folks! 🤦‍♂️ Also, fastcompany.com kindly asks you to do a little dance with your browser settings. 🕺🔒

Lots of driving in the city today. Lots and lots of traffic jams. Lots and lots.

Traffic Sucks

I backed out of the driveway at 7:29am. At that time the GPS app (Waze) was already telling me I was going to be late to work. My ETA was 9:03. The app detoured me off of my normal route less than half a mile from my house…

…and it was all downhill from there.

At about 8:50 I still had 10 miles to go and Waze started recalculating. My ETA started going up… fast. There was an accident on route 128 South (that’s route 95 for all of you non-locals) right at the junction with the Mass Pike (route 90, for all of you non-locals). I pulled into a parking spot at work at 9:30.

Nine. Fucking. Thirty.

So tell me, how’s your fucking Thursday morning treating you? Nothing like a two hour drive as your democracy is collapsing to make you feel good about the state of the world, know what I mean?

Here’s a cat. Enjoy.

Missed It

There was an accident on route 128 South. It made me late for work. Not super late, just a couple of minutes. A car hit the barrier on the left side of the road. It took quite a long time to get around.

I tried to take a picture as I drove passed. I blindly pointed my phone at the accident and did not take my eyes off the road. This is what I got.

Masterpiece. Pure stable genius.

"Welcome to The International House of Jams. We've got the jams! What can I do for you?"

"I'd like a jar of traffic jam."

"Sorry. We don't carry this one."

"That's vexing. How about paper jam?"

"What paper weight do you want?"

Holiday Traffic

Word on the street (pun intended) is that traffic is really crappy tonight. I still have almost two hours to go before I finish work and go out to brave the roads, but I am not looking forward to it.

What I am looking forward to is seeing my step son tonight. He’ll probably be getting to the house while I’m stuck in traffic. All the more reason to be happy about the commute situation (yes, that was meant to be very sarcastic).

I really want to go home now. One hour and 47 minutes to go.

While we wait, here are two pictures I took while putting gas into the car this morning… because that’s related to the overall topic, right?

Funny sign over a busy highway in Toronto #urbanplanning #trafficjam #toronto #biketoot #biketooter

(In traffic helicopter voice) Major backup in South Bend, Indiana today... #BikeTooter #cycling #SouthBend #trafficjam

in #Caversham #Reading again this weekend visiting relatives (saw my uncle on his last day in UK before he flies back to Malaysia).

Took me over an hour just to get across Reading yesterday, due to #roadworks and #floods (the #RiverThames had burst its banks).

Just having a chilled evening (as there is little these days I would want to do in the centre of Reading and I would only end up in the #trafficjam again)

(there is another cat, but she is camera shy)
