Oh, Thank You So Much Senator Obama

...NOT.

Great. Apparently, the Illinois Senator will be giving the commencement address at Wesleyan University tomorrow. So?

Well, that means that the Glorious People's Soviet of Middletown will be crawling with security (especially now that SWMNBN may have put the fear of assassination in the Secret Service). This of course means (to paraphrase Inigo Montoya) "Traffic...galoooooore".

So I'm going to have to take the less scenic and slightly longer trip to the other end of the state so I can open up the cottage for the season tomorrow morning.

Grrr. But it's on his head that I'm going to have to burn more gas going the round-about way through Hartford in my Suburban Tactical Assault Vehicle (aka minivan).
