Happy Fat Tuesday!
I’m not much into Mardi Gras, but we did have a fun little Mardi Gras parade at my daughter’s school last week.
Other than that, not much going on in my world. Just trying to get some things done around the house with this nice weather we’re having.
So let’s get into what’s coming up this week (there’s even a chicken swap on Saturday!)
SHOUTOUT RANT OF THE WEEK
Juban Crossing
Couldn’t think of a good shoutout this week. But I could think of how ridiculously dumb the layout at Juban Crossing is!
To start, the entrances, exits, and traffic light timings are horrible.
Then when you finally get in, you get to the roundabouts that are supposed to help traffic flow. Except they put giant bushes in the way and you can’t even see without coming to a complete stop!
Then your vision is blocked again by the giant signs when you’re trying to turn into the store areas.
Just had to get that off my chest. I’m sure you share the same sentiment haha.
