Saga of the light..

Now that I'm paying more attention to that stupid light I get stuck at every day on my way home from work - I've gotten obsessed with getting photos of the stupid thing with my iphone.

Once again tonight driving home from work (at 8:15 pm) - I was stuck at the red for the duration of a 2 minute and 30 second song while NO ONE came in either direction at the green light. Why is this friggen thing on a timer???
