I'm pretty sure it's a conspiracy. This morning I drove west through Fort Wayne to get to a shopping area. After realizing that my usual route to downtown wasn't viable (the big dump trucks and other machinery blocking the intersection where I usually turn were clues that I had better find another way. I did so and really didn't loose any time getting through town. All was well. I did my shopping, lunched with a friend, then came back downtown for a meeting at church. So far so good. But the road rulers (those who decide which streets to close and when) really got to work while I was busy inside and couldn't see what was going on. Having had no trouble getting into town two hours earlier, I began to drive my usual route home. The first block was fine, second block big orange ROAD CONSTRUCTION and LEFT LANE CLOSED signs appeared. I turned right onto a one way street south, then left onto what is usually another very reliable route east. Two block later a bright orange and white barricade and ROAD CLOSED sign loomed in front of me. I turned left (the only way I could) onto a street I wasn't familiar with, which dead ended in a one-way street heading, you guessed it, back downtown.
Since I'm writing this blog, I'm sure you've surmised that I did actually, eventually make it home. On the way home I passed two END ROAD CONSTRUCTION signs. I'm sure they were protest signs and I agree.
