Uncapped 12-inch PVC pipes

That’s what made me sit in traffic for 2 hours today. Seriously, what mother fucker calls in a pipe, in a ditch, to the police? “Yes, officer, I was 40 feet in the air, on my cell phone, in my uneccessarily large SUV, when my beady eyes pondered over and saw trash in the ditch on the side of a main road. You should get the bomb robot out here on the double!”

They shut down the section of 123 under the beltway, you know, in case it blew up. But, they let everyone drive on the beltway over top where the “bomb” was on 123. Morons.

What so fucking suspicious about a PVC pipe? Did it have a sunglasses and a fucking handlebar mustache. Evily rubbing it’s hands together while shifty eyeing every car that drives by? I’m glad to see tax dollars at work. I don’t care if the cops were just doing their job. They did it shittly. What if the was another emergency? You know, like a real one with people already in the process of dying? There was enough traffic to delay any reaction time.

So, I got detour north to Great Falls road. I circled back to 123 and didn’t take the beltway because it was a parking lot. At this time I didn’t know that 123 was close. Nor did I think of tuning in on the 8’s. So by the time I got back to 123 & 495 I got detoured back north where I just came from. Tysons sucks. Instead of detouring everyone in the same direction they should had figured acouple routes and split everyone up. Makes me feel that I’m smart enough to become a traffic cop. To bad.

I think we should set up some kinda alternating work schedule, where half of everyone in DC works on even days and the rest work on odd days. This would cut traffic in half.

Dec 6th – 11:18am

McLEAN, Va. – Route 123 in Tysons is expected to reopen at about 11:30 a.m., two hours after it shut down.

The road under the Capital Beltway has been closed as officials investigated a suspicious item, a 12-inch PVC pipe found in a gully. It turned out not to be suspicious.

The closure affected feeder roads to Route 123, including the Dulles Access Road and caused back-ups on the Capital Beltway.[/quote]
