Quick Thoughts 9/8

• Bears/Packers Sunday.  I’m hoping the Bears will route Green Bay, but the only way that will happen is if Favre throws multiple interceptions, and the Bears’ defense eats him alive.  It should be a good one to watch.  I, for one, am happy Brett Favre didn’t retire yet.  It’s payback time!
• It’s supposed to rain and be in the 60’s for highs all weekend.  Sounds like a good excuse to watch football.
• Traffic is getting pretty bad on South Broadway in Rochester in the mornings and after work.  It’s all due to construction, and funneling down to one lane.  It took me 30 minutes last night to go one block.  I was in the lane that stays open, but traffic was moving a lot better in the other lane which is closed a little further up the road.  So everyone was getting to the merge point, and the people in the open lane let them in.  Meanwhile, the open lane is getting backed up for miles and hardly any progress is made due to the fact everyone is waiting until the last minute to merge.  It drives me nuts.  I don’t see how people in big cities deal with this kind of traffic jam on a regular basis.  Avoid this area at all costs until the construction is completed.
• I picked up the new Audioslave album this week.  Upon my first couple of listens, I’m a bit disappointed.  It lacks the power and awesome riffs of their first two albums.  This one is just kind of “blah” so far, but hopefully it will grow on me in time.
