Trouble in paradise

The city of Agawam is crying over the recent traffic jams caused by the Eastern States Exposition. They are accusing the Big E of causing more problems than the new casino and they want the exposition to do something about it.

Here's a thought Agawam: Stop being shocked by this 100+ year old event that comes around every September and start being prepared for it.

Start thinking about how to maybe improve your road infrastructure in the hopes of alleviating the traffic headaches instead of whining about things.

I got a little wet walking to my car this afternoon.

And by "a little wet" I mean "Holy crap, it's freakin' pouring!"

The drive home was kind of exciting.

And be "exciting" I mean "Jesus! I can't even see out the windshield."

I'm going to watch a couple of innings of baseball this evening. The Rockies are in Chicago to play the Cubs in the NL Wild Card and I'll watch some of that game.

While I do that, you can click on these:
