TRAFFIC EASE UP

The Bright Side
Yesterday morning I experienced the shortest school day commute in years, along the Churchill-Roosevelt Highway.

Returning from dropping my daughter to school in Tunapuna, there was very minimal traffic from Tunapuna to the Uriah Butler intersection on the Highway. This was at 8:15 am. Wow!

Just prove that yesterday was no fluke, this morning’s commute was also easy.

A colleague living in the southland reports on the west-south traffic, “The very bright side is that once pass (the) Aranguez (intersection), the drive to south is almost non-stop.”

Things can and do get better.

The Light Side
You remember that I told you that we “never see-come see” Trinis were parking on the new flyover bridge to take in the view?

Well, yesterday the Police responded to deter motorists from this dangerous practice.

What did they do? Wait for it – they parked a Police car on the bridge. This is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes.

FINDING GOOD NEWS
The Bright Side
Good news exists. Finding it may be the problem.

On May6, buried on page 22 of the Trinidad Express (does anyone read that far inside the newspaper?) I found this:
Packing House Boosting Farm Profits.
Very quietly, improvements in our agro-industry are happening.

Things are not always bad. I think that our focus is.

So the front pages are filled with bad news and there is sport on the back pages.

Where do you find the good news? Just go to the center pages.
