It was a lovely day for a traffic jam. The sun was shining, birds were tweeting and Narrows Bridge traffic was piled up three miles to Cheney Stadium. Sue and I and our two little sprouts, ages 6 and 9, were driving back to Bremerton on Saturday last weekend - you know, when state Department of Transportation officials shut down two lanes of the bridge for repaving. Don't go there, they said.
Resistance is futile.
You will be assimilated. After dropping John and Jenny at the airport, we did some shopping, had a fast-food dinner and finally headed home. Traffic was light on Highway 16 after we left I-5. I braked our mini-van behind a tan sedan. In a minute, a dozen more vehicles were packed in behind us.
