Looks like one of those notorious Internet Bubbles.

Me, I like my bubbles tiny.

Creepy. I was in that same traffic jam yesterday. And for no reason! No firey crash, no road construction.

Stupid I-90.

My favorite part of this post: The missing passenger-side mirror on the photographer's car.


Time to ask the Stranger for a raise?

Hate to burst your bubble, but he was in the *passenger* side.

Safer than smoking a bowl, anyways.

That traffic jam's on I-90 W every Sunday around that time. With most of my family in Moses Lake, we've learned the hard way to get out of Dodge early, otherwise your 2.5 hour trip becomes closer to 4 hours. And most of the time, there's not some wacky lady with bubbles, just assholes in SUVs.

Yay for hippies with soap! Hippies without soap... I shudder just thinking about them.

Congratulations for finding something, anything, positive, or at least distracting in such mind numbing circumstances.

Yah the one thing the freeway needs more of is distracting oily bubbles. Its not like we don't have hard enough time with rain or its frozen counterpart.

@13: Oh lighten up - just how hard is it to keep focus when you're sputtering forward at 0.3 mph?

If someone finds a satisfying way to make lemons out of Sunday afternoon I-90 traffic (or any other time, any other freeway - they're all bad), I say give them a prize! At least they're not ready to explode and go berserk. We could all learn a lesson.

That's fucking awesome! I was stuck in the same traffic too. Bubbles beat the hell out of listening to the latest Harried Pothead for a couple of hours like I was.

I adore her. Hooray for cheerful people trying to make things better for the people around them!
