So the other day I had to catch a late flight for a one day trip to a job interview. On the way to Midway, I had to get off of I-88 onto I-294 south. Unfortunately for me, the on-ramp to 294 was being blocked by emergency vehicles. Cars were literally parked on the ramp. We figured there must have been a terrible accident. Nobody was moving...not even an inch. Anyway, we turned the radio to the local news stations and listened for the traffic reports to find out what was going on. No mention at all of what was happening where we were. none whatsoever. So we sat there, stuck on an on ramp, for 40 minutes, while the clock ticked down to the time I would need to get to the airport.
After we got moving again, they finally mentioned on the radio that Obama's motorcade was blocking the highways, including my exit/entrance. Anyway, I barely made my flight. I'm glad I left a bit early.
Anyway, it made me mad. That's all. I'm sure this will happen many more times in the future. I hope I'm not on the road when it does.
