Earlier this afternoon I was stuck in a HUGE traffic jam on I-95 South in Maryland, bumper to bumper, moving at the rate of barely a tenth of a mile per minute. Fortunately I had my camera, and here’s the thrilling scene:
It’s maddening not to know what’s going on, but finally I got closer to the action, which looked like this:
I had noticed that there were far more cops whizzing by than is usual, and when I got to the scene, there were at least ten police cars, maybe more. A large group of officers were standing around talking animatedly; they definitely appeared excited about something. Odd, because I couldn’t see any pile-up or anything like that.
At last I saw the wreck, and understood what the excitement was about:

I wouldn’t check out any library books for a while if I were you.

This time around, Rosemary (the Queen of All Evil) is defending the death penalty — and doing it very well. She even convinced Tim the Soldier.
The color spectrum symbolisms of the Iron Blog are extremely interesting to think about. I’ll send you an e-mail about that.
Reminds me of a police-officer wreck I saw in Houston. It looked like it wasn’t his fault–some woman ran a stop sign and he swerved to miss her. In the process, though, he jumped a sidewalk and nailed the corner of a hefty brick planter. His car was toast.
