Blocked Arteries

Imagine if you only had one artery leading from your heart to the rest of your body. Imagine if that artery got blocked. Things would start looking pretty bad pretty fast.

I've always wondered why there's only one major road, I-5, connecting Seattle and Portland. One artery to carry over 50,000 vehicles a day between the heart and lungs of the Northwest. (Sorry Olympia)

Turns out, if you cut off the artery (or flood it, as is the case right now), life in the limbs is affected.

My friend, who lives on the other side of the freeway closure, is supposed to come down tomorrow, but there ain't nothing flowing through Chehalis right now except a bunch of muddy water.

It's time for a stint!
