Today, thinking I could be home early, I was slowed down seriously due to some big 'thing' on the highway. I was kind of ready for this event when I was going to work. I saw at least two lanes of traffic snarled and basically stopped for several kms. in the direction of my home, but really hoped it would be over by the time I was using that route. Wrongo!
Imagine some people doing roadwork on the highway and having only a couple of traffic cones to protect them. This picture is taken on a highway. Massive trucks are flying by these guys at highway speed leaving about a few inches between the truck and the worker. Click on the photo and you can get a close up of the workers and truck going by.
Things got worse. The rain began, the rain turned into a downpour, and what is a legal 2 lane highway became a 5 lane highway of morons trying to be first in line. First was not an option today. The little drive of 15 km I was on took me 2 hours. Bumper to bumper - not kidding and side by side, we inched our way to some event on the road. Not sure what the heck it was, just a big thing in the middle of the road that meant we must take turns -- right, take turns in Malaysia! And drive into the mucky ditch swollen with rain water and get around it. Holy crow. What a waste of time. So, to entertain myself, I took a few pictures of what I endured.

You can see the side mirror on the clown to my left - big truck. I could only capture 3 lanes of this newly appointed 5 lane road.
