Only one prophecy strikes more fear into the hearts of Californians than the end of the world. Had St. John the Divine, author of the book of Revelation, foreseen this calamity many lives would be saved.
"It will be an absolute nightmare," said Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Unfortunately, the masses must suffer the eternal weekend damnation better known as Carmageddon. Fifty-three straight hours from hell start Friday night as the 405 freeway will be shut down for Caltrans workers to demolish a bridge in preparation to construct a new lane. The 405 will be blocked off for 10-miles that reaches from the Sepulveda Pass from the western side of Los Angeles.
Many have prepared themselves for the Carpocalypse and plan to stay inside and away from the weekend disaster. However, local businesses such as hotels, bars, florists, and jewelers are taking advantage of the drastic situation and are offering special weekend deals to customers.
Even so, the people of Southern California look to a higher source to deliver them from this intolerable torment. Like an answer to prayer, manna comes down from the friendly skies in the form of a steel blue dove. JetBlue airlines is offering $4 flights from Burbank to Long Beach on Saturday to avoid Judgment Day.
