It gets pretty bad. I have to go back there on Tuesday and once again hotel rooms are almost non existent so I'm staying who knows where. Long drives in Houston, yay me. Lots of people bout to get cussed out.
effing houston. Shit is stopped on the beltway and the feeder. Jackasses being well...jackasses. I hate this damn place. And I'm freaking hungry.
Key to driving in Houston is to stay off the Beltway and 610 if at all possible. Surface streets rule. Now for some good white knuckle fun, try exiting 59 west at Chimney Rock just past 610. Idiots getting off of 610 onto 59 to contend with and I think you've got to zip over two or three lanes to make the exit. And at least you don't have to pee. Yet.
Exactly what it was. Someone hit a pole. They ended up clearing the feeder by turning everyone around and letting them back track. Lucky we were on that and not the BW. No idea how long those poor bastards sat there. If you enlarge the picture and count 16 cars from the back in center lane. That was us. Silver BMW
