I never know what to call these Happy Hours--Blogger or Crablogger.  So, I will merely call it both. 

As you have probably seen, a location and date has been determined for the April rendezvous.  Many thanks to ACW and Kmart for their intrepid investigation of possible sites and their work in organizing of people they barely know.  You guys have done good.  The official announcement can be found here

Event: April Happy Hour
Location: Club Charles
Date: 20 April 2005
Time: 6:00 PM to Falling off the stool

Come join us, as it is a blast.  If you have never been, I strongly urge you go.  We'll even welcome those people who aren't too happy with this choice.  ;-)

Time for another gripe about traffic.  I left my place in Baltimore for my commute to College Park.  I left at about 6:30 this morning, and I was on I-95 by 6:35 AM.  I did not pull into the parking lot at the office until 7:21 AM.  I love fifty minute commutes! 

I was making good timing until I hit a slowdown just after the exit for Rt. 175.  The traffic report on WYPR said nothing about a problem, so I switched over to "Traffic on the 8's" WTOP.  The last blurb I heard was about my slowdown.  Apparently, there was a semi parked on the shoulder just past Rt. 216.  This parked semi caused a delay of 12 minutes in my commute.  When I finally passed by the semi, there was a tow truck beginning to take the semi away.  Obviously, this was the perfect reason to slow traffic down on I-95. 

The final insult came, though, as I approached campus.  I take University Boulevard--Rt. 193--from Rt. 1 South.  This exit requires that I move over left shortly after I get off the lane.  Of course, I was able to get in the right lane, but getting in the left lane was impossible today.  I was met with some old woman smoking away in her late model Oldsmobile going too slow and boxing me in.  I already had my turn signal on, but apparently that was too much for the gentleman in the Navigator behind Ms. Carcinogen.  I had to bail out on Metzerott Road just to take my usual entrance into campus. 

Nothing like being surrounded by friggin' idiots on my Tuesday commute.
