Headed East on Warm Springs, trying to get to Costco. Get up to Spencer and traffic slows to a crawl. Probably an accident. Yup. Intersection past Spencer is closed. Crap.
So I drive down Spencer and take a left on Eldorado Ln. Two lane road, and everyone now wants to turn left onto Eastern. This is stupid. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Crap. I finally hop the curb and take off to the right, pull a quick U-turn, and wave to the schmucks waiting to turn left. The U-turn is a perfectly legal and underutilized tool here.
Take Warm Springs a few more blocks and crap... Another accident. This time at Valley Verde. Someone hit a bus.
Once again, how is it that a person manages to hit a bus. It's not like they're small and nimble. Or particularly invisible. They're giant hulking behemoths, smoking down the roadway, obscuring vision for miles around. How the heck do you hit one?
Anyway, I wind around for a while and eventually get back on Warm Springs. Take a left on Stephanie. By now my patience is pretty slim. Some guy has been weaving through traffic, getting nowhere. He ends up in the right hand turn lane onto Marks with his left turn signal on. Woops. This is one of those places where a long application of the horn really freaks someone out. This guy as pretty edgy by the time traffic let him in.
