I took this picture the other day while we were sitting in traffic waiting for it to move. We were at/in an intersection, nosing our way through it. The traffic lately has been very heavy. It seems the closer it gets to election time (mid-late April) the more congested the traffic seems. But go-slows (traffic jams) are not uncommon here. One time we got stuck in a big go-slow and when we got up to where the wahalla (trouble) was, it was a scraggly horse just wandering down the middle of the road.
This is a view from the top of Roy's "new" office building. (They have been paying rent on this building since October, but they still haven't gotten everything squared away to move in... It is a big joke here "when we move to the new office". And a touchy subject with the ones paying the bills.) This gives you an idea of how the intersections work here. There are no traffic lights, and no one pays any attention to street signs. You just nose your way out into traffic and demand a spot in the chaos. One day I will have to post a picture of the round abouts. I think those are worse than the intersections!!
