Yeah you right. Hopefully it won't last long. Of course, "in the dark" is referring to the fact that there are no lights other than my emergency lights and road flares. They don't seem to matter, as one driver said....."Officer, I'm doing the speed limit.". 75mph is a little fast to drive though a road block.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

It cracked me up hearing Pat talk about traffic in Texas.
I say, "Pat, WTF are you talking about, there's 4 trucks". I saw more vehicles in the Buc 'ee's parking lot than I did on the hiway...that is until Houston.
Until you run northern Va streets, don't talk to me about traffic.
You don't know traffic.
Having regularly done Charlotte, NC traffic, Dallas traffic, San Francisco traffic, and now Houston traffic, I can assure you traffic sucks in Houston  I live 15 miles from work, and if I don't leave before 7, it can take 90 minutes. If I leave at 6:30, it's an hour  But Shanghai is somewhat worse.

That's the problem with this gig, Bob. Traffic is moving at a stead 85-90mph and I'm standing in the middle of it. In the dark. Break out the spike strips and utilize the magnum Taser. That, or do what the MSP jokers do on overnight details: sleep.

You should try to get out of our church lot after Mass! Kath and I just sit there and watch the games till it is empty, much wonderment to behold. Christian brotherly love seems to be left in the pew. You are assuming they had any to leave in the pew.

If I leave at 6:30, it's an hour But Shanghai is somewhat worse. Traffic in Shanghai likely makes any North American traffic seem tame. From my recollection the phrase "salmon run" comes to mind. 34 million people one city... I live on the outskirts of our city of 85,000 (this is the major hub of Northern BC). I have a grueling 6 mile/9 minute drive down a picturesque road following a river to the downtown core. 4 traffic lights! In rush hour this can stretch out to 12 to 14 minutes. I'll take small city Northern BC.

i normally a pretty good driver but on hwy 93 the speed limit fluctuates from 45-70 with a few random 50, 55 and 65 in the mix, and one trooper has got me 3 times doing 65 in the 55, he's always cool about it and I'm always nice to him.

Update...It's amazing how word spreads when half a dozen traffic units concentrate on a relatively small area.
