I'd rather have a bottle in front of me...

Then a frontal lobotomy.

Some time in the last two weeks the re-opened the lodge freeway between Southfield and 696.

Now, I realize this doesn't mean anything to most of you, and the rest of you don't care. But the fact of the matter is, with the lodge open it shaves 15 mins from my commute time one way. At least in theory.

This morning it took me 30 mins to get to work, as apposed to the 45 it takes me when I am forced to drive down 275. Anybody that knows anything about 275 knows it never moves fast, no matter what time you drive it.

Of course, the trip home wasn't so fortunate. It took me 15 mins to make it to Novi. I was able to do speed limit all the way there. (Yea, I do speed limit. Having your license suspended a few times will do that to you.) Of course, it took me 35 mins to get from 1 side of Novi to the other. To give you a hint, according to Google it is 2.5 mi – about 5 mins.

I ever mention I love driving in Michigan?
