Short Cut from Hell

I took a shortcut this morning from the transmission shop. I left a full ten minutes before Jay, but it took me almost 35 minutes longer to get home! The expressway looked backed up, so I decided to take the city streets. I forgot several very important factors ....

1. Schools In Session
2. Rush Hour Traffic
3. Still many Major Streetlights out.

Oh well, it's just going to be one of those things that will take years and years to live down (like when I took out the mailbox pulling into my driveway). My shortcut will come up many times more I'm sure.
