This happened tonight

So a couple of hours ago, while driving from Palm Beach Gardens down to West Palm Beach, I pulled off the exit, only to encounter truly awful traffic.

Everything had stopped.

Police lights flashed.

Donald Trump’s off-to-play-gold motorcade was driving by.

I was pissed.

Pissed.

Pissed.

Then, the twerking.

Was it appealing? Eh, no. But it was fun and distracting and preposterously weird. So I recorded it, Tweeted it out, then watched it go slightly viral. The Miami Herald ran a piece—an indictment of the Miami Herald, but … hey.

Life is strange.
