Traffic...
I went out this morning to take out the trash, as I usually do most Thursday mornings before work, when I noticed a sound. I couldn't figure out what it was but as I was looking around I noticed a whole fleet of helicopters just kind of... hovering around down in Mesa. As this is out of the ordinary, I went back inside and Katie turned on the news.
Apparently, there was a pretty big residential fire that was spreading... and all the helicopters were from all of the news stations in Phoenix. Right after that story they showed the remnants of an accident that had occurred earlier on the 60 loop, which was pretty close to the fire too... the helicopters could have been hanging around for that as well. This was a pretty big accident and caused a ton of traffic.
Because both of those events were relatively close to our house, I was wondering how much extra traffic I was going to face heading into work. The answer... a bunch. It took me 90 minutes to get in this morning. Depending on the time I leave my house in the morning I can usually make it in about 45 minutes. Today, it took me twice as long. Good thing they have a lot of good radio stations here.
