Brigadoon Yet Again
Work continues ass over teacups. All the dire predictions of traffic nightmares have largely been put to rest, mainly because the interchange was already a nightmare to begin with. It is heartening to read the nice letters to the editor in both the Post-Herald and The Birmingham News from out-of-towners who stumble into this mess and get lost. They are invariably thankful for the kindness shown by the folks who live here, and by their willingness to go out of their way to give assistance. (We try especially hard to get the Yankees moving on through as fast as we can!) Stupidest story of the past few days was that of a drive-by shooting that occurred about a mile north of the construction zone. Reporters interviewed workers who said they didn't know anything about it until they saw it on the news. Gee, could that be because it was A MILE AWAY? And construction is LOUD? I guess I'm just jealous that I didn't get interviewed--I didn't know about it either until I heard the news--so why not interview me? Of course, I wish to reserve my store for an exclusive interview conducted by Cynthia Gould.
