Carmageddon... Yes please!

So, the 405 (or a 10 mile stretch of the 405) has shut down for the weekend.  We've been hearing about this for at least a month now, on the news, at shool/work, and on signs flashing on every freeway up and down the west coast (reportedly people in Oregon were told not to travel south this weekend).  For us, this wasn't really much of a concern since we don't really go to west LA very often (even less to 'the valley'), so the advice to stay inside or 'stay in your neck of the woods' wasn't going to be an issue for us.  But of course, Blair's doctor's appointment gets scheduled for ... July 16, the 1st day of Carmageddon, and I have an Ayuda dental clinic in Tustin, so I can't go with her.  Needless to say, she was excited to attack Carmageddon on her own, "NOT'.  She had to be at the Dr. office between 8 and 10 AM, so she had planned on leaving around 7:30, so I sent her a text at around 9:30, and her response was "The best I have ever seen:) it needs to be Carmageddon all the time!"  So it is safe to say the general public stayed home and off the roads, and Blair had a very easy trip to West LA.
