I think there is definitely a new wave of economic fear going on out there. Downtown Portland just had a water main break, causing parts of the city to have to go without water, and with people leaving on top of the normal rush hour traffic, and several streets being closed off, with no functional traffic management, things just turned into a nonstop traffic jam, nobody really knew what to do, especially the government.
Traffic was horrible downtown this afternoon due to a major water main breaking which apparently served a pretty big chunk of the city (Portland Oregon). Turning rush hour traffic into a clusterfuck of absolutely monumental proportions. After around 45 minutes to just go a few blocks, I was beyond frustrated, decided to pull over in a clear parking spot, which just happened to be at a stripper club I had not been inside of for at least a year. Kind of a high end place normally a wee bit above my league but if I stayed in that traffic, well, it might have turned violent.
Absolutely gorgeous chicks, the type who normally are nice and all, but not exactly all over me. What I got for less than $20 total in ones, was 45 minutes of the equivalent of back to back lapdances from a half dozen absolute hotties who were bored and and had nothing else to do.
Gotta love it when SHTF...
