More venting about traffic ...

plus something new I learned.

Last night the truckies finally had their victory. One broke down on the Harbour Bridge around 2pm and, despite it being cleared, the ensuing back-up of traffic meant several hours later it still took me two hours to drive from Manukau to central Auckland. Two hours! I would have much rather been out and about chasing sticks let me tell you.

The lesson I referred to was not actually traffic related, or only in that another venting on this topic was written a while ago but failed to upload. What I didn't realise, as I howled at the moon that fateful fourth of July, was that a draft had been automatically saved! I only noticed this just now when I used my (non-car) dashboard, clicked on manage 'posts' and saw the draft saved there. I was only in there to tidy-up/edit an earlier post where I had neglected to put commas between my post labels. Suffice to say, after clicking on edit, I was able to press 'publish post' successfully and the post was even labelled with its original create date.

So the moral of this tail may be that the trucks will always obstruct you in the end, or that the commuter's lot is a dog's life, or perhaps sometimes things you think are lost lost forever are actually only misplaced! (much like a buried bone)
