i'm leaving right now, see you in about 5 hours..

If there's one thing that can ruin an entirely perfect day, , it's the traffic jams... And what's more, they're getting harder and harder to predict.. Predicting the hours of traffic jams is starting to get to the same level of difficulty as predicting future interest rates or future stock market prices... I think they ought to have formulas for predicting when there will be a traffic jam.. and each publishing company should begin to hire a "Traffic Jam Analyst" then their recommendations of "when to go to your office, and when to leave your office, or when to go out for dinner, or to stay the hell home" can be posted on some magazine every week... For example : This week, on Thursday there is a champions league final fixture, so traffic towards dubai is going to be higher than usual...The reason being : the people who live in sharjah who aren't millionaires and don't have 500,000Dhs a year to pay for rent in dubai, will want to go to dubai coffee shops or bars to watch the games.. Expect heavy traffic in Qusais, Bur Dubai, and Shk. Zayed, around 10pm where there are a lot of places showing this fixture... on Sunday there is a formula 1 race at 5.. so people who are usually heading back home from work... wont be!.. so if you are not a formula 1 fan.. get geared up for a smooth drive home... Now seriously, the bridges and stuff all look very fancy.. but dammit they're no good... the roundabouts aren't good either.. Traffic lights are also bad.. so why choose bridges? its the most expensive, yet has the same result as all the others.. Ending on a positive note.. I heard that some company in the US called "WBWCF" which stands for "we believe we can fly" is developing a car that can fly .. they hope their product will be out on the market in 2020.. until then .. see you in the traffic jams.
