Traffic from the Grove across US1 on 32nd Ave. is blocked today for no apparent reason, although I am sure there is one.
Be prepared to turn on to US1 and sit for up to 5 red lights if trying to use 27th Ave. as an alternate.

It's blocked off because there is a Miami bush hamster nest at the corner. When the hamsters hatch (because miami bush hamsters lay eggs), their natural instinct is to scurry across busy intersections. They also like to lay eggs underneathe the Metrorail lines. In an effort to keep the species (now endangered) safe, the city has blocked the intersection. It so happens that Miami bush hamsters always hatch on the first Tuesday in October (I'm not exactly sure how). That's why its blocked today. Past zoological records (which I have access to) show that some Miami bush hamsters can take up to 2 days to hatch, so the intersection may be closed tomorrow. It depends on tonights egg count. If an egg hasn't hatched by the first Thursday in October, it is considered infertile. And FYI, a common misconception is that Miami bush hamsters hate water. The fact is the hamsters love swimming and will often frequent pools of standing water to cool off.
Oh! So they're why the new traffic lights on Le Jeune and Loquat are being built (and probably why they aren't up and running).
I was wondering why there were so many cats loitering around there.
Youve got to be kidding me...
