Monday night, as I was driving, I heard a traffic report on the radio that northbound I-205 was backed up for several miles because of a serious problem. As we don’t normally have traffic problems like that (since Portland is not Seattle or LA *snicker*), I paid attention with a fair amount of curiosity to hear what the problem was. The traffic reporter said that half of a manufactured home had fallen off the semi-truck that was transporting it, blocking pretty much the entire freeway.

My first thought at that point was, “Damn, a mobile home DFO’d!”

My second thought was, “Damn, I watch too much CSI.”

(The fifth season just came out on DVD, yay! Sing along with me now: All I want for Xmas is a few DBs!)

(Added later: “DFO” is a term used only a few times on CSI - unlike “DB” which is heard constantly - and stands for “done fell over.”)
