traffic nightmare

Geez...now I know why I never drive I5 north anymore. The traffic was so bad it took me nearly 6 hours to get to Winthrop. Now I just to need to get my crazy dog to settle down and I can hit the sack. Speaking of which...the first thing he does when I let him out of the car is make a beeline to the river. I see the strong current and yell at him but of course, he doesn't listen. He hopped in and immediately seemed a little worried about how quickly he was heading downstream. Thank goodness he headed back to the shore and made it out. Drowning the dog wouldn't be a great start to the weekend...
