Longer

No longer can you plan a trip When driving is the means, For calculating ETA’s Is like a hill of beans. Construction doesn’t help things, Though it keeps the traffic slowed, But the problem is how many Cars and trucks clog up the road. To cross a bridge this morning, Where the backup was a mess, Added fifty minutes to our ride, As well as lots of stress. At times we cannot help it – Cars can take us door to door, But it certainly takes longer Than it ever did before.

I'm thankful our roads are relatively quiet Ilene, 5 cars in front is a traffic jam lol. guess we are lucky to live on a little island but it does have its restrictions as well as benefits. we have no motorways and the only dual carriage way is a small strip in front of the airport lol:-) hugs Jan xx
