Is there anything worse than construction traffic?

There can't be a lot.

Missed both my classes today because both routes to the campus are backed up.

This one road has been under construction for two years.

To make this day EVEN worse, I just found out that my Uncle's cancer is terminal and that he has 2-3 months left.

FML

edit: clearly having a family member pass is worse

When I went to New Zealand I had to stand outside of the Asheville airport for five hours because of some damn idiot with a bomb who got past the first security checkpoint.

They made us all stand in the sun without water and you can't leave or you don't get to come back.

sitting on an airplane out on the tarmac is clearly far more worse than construction traffic.

Sorry about your uncle though...it should give you some perspective on what's important though! Being stuck in traffic seems pretty trivial in comparison

Here in Asheville I take highway 19/23 home everyday. There has been bridge construction on various bridges on this highway for about two months now. It's about an extra 15 minutes sitting in traffic a day, but dealing with discourteous drivers is far more frustrating than the traffic itself.

And of course, my condoloences to your uncle.

You work downtown? I always liked to grab a beer after work to let 17:00 traffic die down some.

Nah, I actually work west of Asheville and take 40 to 26 to 19/23. But usually after work I just wanna go home and veg for awhile. :thumbsup:

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
