Well, the Black Horse Pike flooded again. It's a norm and everyone in the area knows that. But when you work in radio the excuse "The Road is Flooded" doesn't work...whether you are here or not the clock doesn't stop and it will flip over to your show and start without you. The BHP has flooded so badly at times that we have been trapped at the studio since it is directly between the two flooding zones, Bayport One.
Radio, Baby.
So the last two days High Tide has started around the time I am coming thru to get to the studio around 5:30am.
I drive a Kia Soul. Save your jokes, I am a 6'5" 240 lb Brick **** House of a man and I get good gas mileage since I'm coming from Monmouth County every day. I get laughed at by all y'all with your big SUVs and Lifted Trucks all the time. It affects me zero because I'm a guy that uses the car to go from point A to point B.
But this morning, was my magnum opus.
As I crept up to the section of the BHP that floods across, the brake lights start...I know what it means...then the SUVs and Cars start turning around...cowards...
While I wait for drivers that may not have the guts to do what they have to do to make their decision. I grab my phone and turn on "All Along the Watch Tower". Volume all the way up and make eye contact with the lifted truck that just turned around as he defeatedly drives the other way.
Today is MY DAY.
With the care of an unsupervised toddler in the pantry I put my "Little Putt-Putt" as my 8 year old son calls it in the center lane and entered the Moat. The SS Kia Soul got across that ocean while flipping the bird out the window to all those big truck lovin cowards! SURE, my engine might be flooded now but DANG IT I MADE IT TO WORK ON TIME.
Today is a victory for the little guy. Today is a victory for me. Enough about the clown car I drive...It's a Duck Boat now and there is NOTHING the SS Putt Putt can't take on.
Boy, I really hope it starts when I leave work later.
Either Way, Rock out to the song that I floated to work with
