Our commute just got two hours longer.
If you’re local, you already know about the fire that destroyed the approach to the south-side of the Patullo bridge over the weekend. Apparently it’s going to take 4 – 6 weeks to repair. Over 80,000 vehicles travel over the Patullo; now they’re all having to re-route. One of the alternative routes is the way we commute in to work. What normally takes us 45 minutes is taking an hour and a half to two hours (each way). Traffic is just crawling along.
Not only is it a pain/aggravating/frustrating (take your pick!) to have my day made longer, I’m worried about the dogs. That’s a lot longer than they’re used to waiting for going outside. A couple of years ago it took us four hours to get home because of snow and ice on the highway, and poor Bender (he was just a puppy) peed all over the kitchen. Poor little guy, he couldn’t help it.
I think they can hold it; but it will probably be uncomfortable for them.
