Gridlock!

While returning home from 'town' this afternoon, I happened upon a "traffic situation" which was frustratingly amusing, or perhaps amusingly frustrating. And rather than explain it in a long, frustrating, and probably not amusing paragraph, I will recreate the situation visually:

Just a quick sketch.

And for those readers that are not visual learners, Vehicle 'A' (Yes, those ovals are "vehicles".) intended to turn left onto the side street, but was unable to because of the vehicles lined up behind Vehicle 'B', who also intended to turn left onto a side street, but was unable to because of the of the vehicles lined up behind Vehicle 'A'...HA, HA, HA, a never-ending circle of traffic gridlock, if I ever saw one. There was also a fair amount of traffic in both of the right-most lanes which prevented the 'lined-up' vehicles from making their escape and putting an end to this strange cosmic occurance.

So I observed no small amount of waving, honking, saluting, and gesticulating. And I had to laugh. If anyone wishes to observe this phenomenon first-hand, these vehicles are probably still there, and there they will remain, no doubt, until the King returns and delivers us from the shackles of this present age, chief of which, of course, is sitting in traffic.

But we are not as those who have no hope...
