7/23/2002: Potatoes on Tokyo highway

You'd be surprised how the lamest shit can tie up major freeways for HOURS.

Last year I was on the way to work, on the inner loop of 495 going North. This was probably June or so, so before September 11, when people became suspicious of <b>everything</b>.

Well, traffic is hell this morning. Traffic normally isn't so bad at 9:30 AM - most of rush hour has died down. No matter - traffic is inching along.

Finally we get to the head of the pack and what do we see?

STYROFOAM ON THE GODDAMN ROAD.

Blowing around and being harmless. But this had caused a MAJOR slowdown. It was absolutely ridiculous. I have no idea why anyone would slow down so damn much for styrofoam. Of course, if just a a few select people do it, it affects everyone else.

Anyway. That's my stupid comment for the hour.
