The Big DumpTruck

Okay, freaky busy day out there today. Look, I was going shopping for a real reason - I needed a black turtleneck. But what about the rest of you? We went up to the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua and there was practically gridlock all the way down the Daniel Webster Highway.

[Special note to the rabid mom in the minivan:
See, when two lanes of cars are both in right turn-only lanes, and you are in the rightmost lane, you are supposed to turn and stay in the right lane. Not just try to drive into the left lane without looking, almost hit us, beep your horn at us, get livid, start screaming and then beep your horn at us again LATER. Or did you just get your license yesterday? If you did, do us all a flippin' favor and stay the hell off the road if you can't handle two turn lanes. Beeyotch. God, you know, how dare she get so furious with us for daring to be in our lane! And then she was in a left turn lane when we were driving past she actually had the nerve to beep at us again! My God, is she really that much of a stupid lunatic? Heaven help her kids if she's the one who teaches them how to drive. Those are the days when you almost, just almost, wish she HAD hit us, because I would have loved to see her face when the cops cited her for failing to stay within marked lanes. Grrrr.]

Anyway, the roads were bumper-to-bumper - it looked like the weekend before Christmas out there. Well, good for the retailers, I guess.

Oh, and after we got home, I saw this view out the window and thought I'd share.
