I'm on the phone w/hubby right now, who left at 6:10 (I'm in South Alterra) and is not even to the bridge before Rinker. Apparently the light at 347/Riggs is out? Plus he had to wait for a danged train too..urg......so, yeah, he's crawling right now.

This is my first posting on this crappy new site, but just had to say thanks to DPS again for not giving a s**t about anyone who uses the 347. Yes the light is out, but no law enforcement is directing traffic. Basically it's a stop sign on a highway.

It took me an hour and twenty minutes to get to work today (more than double the usual) and it absolutely sucked. If I had known that there wouldn't have been any law enforcement directing the traffic light outage at Riggs, I would of hopped onto the shoulder like a few other people did. It's extremely ridiculous that they can't get anyone out there to direct traffic.

They are who we thought they were!

Sorry folks! I can't imagine how frustrated you all are...wait...i just got off the phone with hubby who was quite frustrated! LOL! Took him about an hour and a half to get from our house in South Alterra to the 10.....there was a wait for a train involved in there too.

Hubby still has a long way to go....needs to be up at 1-17 and Deer Valley....

my sister just called and said the light at Riggs is now working. Think I'll wait an hour before leaving for work! She also said Riggs is moving slow as part of it is flooded.

<--- took Casa Blanca.....


I should have worked from home today... I am not doing anything here that the Other guy couldn't do and still have 7 hours to kill.. Dang it!!!

Just doing it one day at a time. Change is good and it should be looked upon as an improvment! not a problem.

LOL!!!!!


I left Maricopa @ 9:05 and got to Central and McDowell by 9:50.

The 347 was ok, maybe a 5 minute delay @ Riggs. However, exiting I-10 @ 7th street was a MESS! McDowell and 7th street lights were out. I had to go south on 7th and get lost in the historical district then come up 7th ave to get to work, but I still made it

I'm moving back to civilization on 9/1!!

****looks around and the only joke I see is the posting quoted above!****

If you had ever had a baby in the car you would realize that it's no joke to be rolling in TRAFFIC with a baby. Especially if they are starting to get more upset about sitting in the car seat than you are about sitting in traffic. At 7 Months.... It's no joke.

Clearly you have no children if you think it's a joke to use the carpool lane when it's available!

I will be very glad when the shoe is on the other foot and KARMA kicks you in the waste deposit area!!

Haha that is such a good idea. Wouldn't have thought of that myself. Can you use it if you have a dog with you?? Does it count? LOL
