On the back porch this morning. The day is starting out hazy… humid… quiet. The haze doesn’t last much past the sun breaking the horizon.
Sitting back here, you don’t here the local traffic, just the dull roar from the bypass. Driving the bypass the past few weeks, I’m amazed by the new sequence all of the lights are hitting. Sitting at the stoplight waiting for a uncommonly long green on the cross street turn signal when absolutely no one is on the cross street is just disturbing. Now, believe me, being a resident of one of the cross streets, it’s nice to not have to wait as long as I am accustomed to after all these years… but it’s not right.
The sun is up. I have to make a Pharmacy run today some I’m heading inside. Here’s today’s photo…
It’s quiet and hazy here, too. The best news, traffic-wise, is that there wasn’t much going on at the 146 bridge construction project. Twenty minutes to get from Kemah to Seabrook has been pretty much normal, if understandable. Still, they’re doing a fair job of keeping things moving — thank goodness!
I remember the previous 146 bridge. We would spend an hour or more waiting to cross on Sunday afternoons as the big sailboats were returning to Clear Lake after a long weekend of sailing. Since you only had one lane going each way, not many cars would make it across before the drawbridge would raise once again… Since a big portion of 45 back then wasn’t much wider (2 lanes on each side) the Sunday traffic there would back up too.
