traffic

The President was in town this past week. OK, he was here for something like 4 hours, but that was long enough to mess with traffic, and what was on the TV.   I had to go through town so I left early.   My though was that if I got through town BEFORE his plane even landed I would have no problems.   I was wrong.   First, before I even get into downtown I get behind some tourist buses.   They stop to unload for one of our historic touristy places.   One bus stops in the middle of the street.   In the middle.   You can't pass him on either side.   I put the car in reverse, back up make a turn in the middle of the road and go up a side street.   When I get into town I feel good.   One Lane is blocked for Bush, but that's OK.   Then I get within about 2 blocks of where his $2000 a plate lunch is going to be.   Traffic is slow almost not moving at all.   So me in my wisdom *cough* turn right.  I think I can just go a block or two over easy.   WRONG.   I go one block and the road turns into a one-way, going the other way.   I can't turn left so I go right.   Then it's a couple blocks before I can go left again.   Now I'm in parts of downtown I really don't know.   I wait until I can turn left again.   Where am I?   I just keep driving, and lucky me! I finally end up about 2 blocks past where the president will be!!  I made it!! 

 Now I have some time to kill before my appointment.  I go in Goodwill to look at books.   Love books.   Love cheap books.   I walk past a rack of clothes and see this really cool (hideous) shirt.   It is real shiny.   Something from the 70s?  Upon a closer look at this cool (hideous) shirt I can make out skulls, crosses and the words "Hot Tuna."   Was Hot Tuna a band at sometime?   Should I have snapped up this unbelievably cool (really, really hideous) shirt?   Sell it on e-bay?  Maybe someone with more fashion sense *rolling my eyes here* than I has already snapped the think up.   But it was cool (hideous, I am saying hideous!!!!!) shirt.
