Ittsa wrong-way kinda day

[lsanderson]

On my way to Lunds, my favoritest Uptown grocery store, there was a car facing the wrong way on the sidewalk sort of cozying up to a low retaining wall with a fair number of parking marker poles flattened behind it. A cop car had also pulled over with the flashers on, and I think someone was sitting in the car. I say, I say, I say, I could not imagine the scenario that put the car there. No black ice or snow on Lake Street, which is about three lanes wide at that point. No fog. No obvious flying saucers. It's not that it suddenly became a one-way. It's been like that for mumble years already. I doubt that a wall of cars approaching from the newly renamed lake would cause a driver to panic quite that much.

On my way back to the house on 28th Street, also long a one-way, and now with an extra special bike lane, here comes another car the wrong way down a one car lane one-way street.

Maybe it's something in the water? Super Bowl fever?

I will blame it on the Super Bowl, regardless of any facts in the matter. Fuck the Super Bowl.

Agreed. On my way into town today there was some totally unnecessary and uncharacteristic madness on I-94.

But it wasn't a Super Bowl attending tourist car. More towards the down and out than BMW.
