Yesterday, as the family was driving off to church in the morning, my wife was telling me a story of how several people in a row cut her off in traffic the other day and how it made her really angry. I can relate, because I still have a list of people in my head that have cut me off in the past that I will totally ram if I ever see them again. The ironic part of this story though, is that while telling this story, my wife ended up getting angry while driving again, this time at a traffic cop.
We were trying to navigate some closed roads that had popped up on our usual route, and we thought we had gotten around them when we came to some cones. Road closed. The end. But there didn’t seem to be a reason for the road to be closed. There was no construction, and in fact other cars were driving down the very road we wanted to go down. When my wife mentioned this to the police officer, she got yelled at, which made her very angry.
To make a long story short, we couldn’t get through no matter which way we went, so we finally parked several blocks away from church and decided to walk the rest of the way. Two blocks from church we discovered, up close and personal, the reason for all of the street closures. Away to my iPhone I flew like a flash. Switched over to “camera” mode (video, no flash). And what to my wondering eyes should appear? Well, I’ll just post the video. Watch it right here.
Millions and millions of Santas. A Santa stampede. And that’s why I was late to church. It’s a good thing I got the video, or you’d never believe me.
