Jose Padua: An Existential Traffic Update for the I-81 Corridor
The Burger King down the block
is open during renovations
and the man who
got shot several times
at his house a few streets away
on Saturday night
survived
and is in stable
condition at a hospital
in the next town north
of here,
all of which is
a sign that business
is as usual
and the only
delays you will
experience will be
the unexpected ones
which will be dealt with
on a case by case
basis.
