How frustrating! I know you have to use the I-90 bridge to get to your house, so because of the new tolls on 520 you're going to be facing more of what you went through last night. I've been thinking about putting a few books on tape in my car in case I get stuck like you did. I also broke down and bought one of those good to go passes just in case we need to use 520. I know for a fact that a lot of those elected folks in Olympia are in the majority of the 86 part of the formula below, and I don't think having an income tax would have stopped the them from implementing tolls on 520. Imo in a lot of cases we are being governed by fools and otherwise. I heard about this formula from the speaker at our Agenda 21 meeting last night. He's been very politically active and was actually a wa st legislature representing Grays Harbor county at one time. He told all of us stories about his time there and said he saw if first hand and up close while serving. I'll let you use your imagination to figure out what it means. 14/86 I didn't find an article anywhere on line. Was everyone in that car ok? Sometimes I wonder if anyone in Olympia has any grey matter at all.....or if it is only fog between their ears.

I had an experience exactly like that on the night we were supposed be at the rehearsal dinner for our daughter's wedding. I had been outside working in the rain to ready the host's home and had to go change and return. It was only 35 miles, but took me two hours. When I got there I was locked out, so I had to go to Walmart and buy some dry clothes for the rehearsal dinner. Just for fun, I left all the tags on--just like Minnie Pearl! I actually arrived on time, but that pretty much cured me of Seattle traffic.
