driving caution

[Beach Runner]

Make sure you're very careful and patient if you're going through Atlanta on Monday. At 2:45 yesterday afternoon the traffic was a parking lot from the toll booth at GA 400 all the way past the airport, and that's without accidents. It took me 2 hours, 45 minutes to get home from the 285/400 intersection - normally that's at most a 1-1/2 hour drive. Not to mention that people were driving recklessly and tailgating like mad, resulting in a multi-car pileup northbound on the connector at 10th Street.

Not much police presence on the road - that surprised me.

An additional FYI - for the few of you who do not already wear your seatbelt, the state troopers have been running ads on TV in the last week, noting that the TV ad is your warning. Troopers are writing tickets.

roads are full of idiots, big lake is full of complete idiots, resturants are full of domestically challenged idiots

just not worth going outside, really, so we're staying home for the next two days

i downloaded some old e-books including 'the radiance pool' for free off the gutenburg site and installed microsoft reader for some quality, if snoozy, spoken word entertainment

the smoker is full of pig bottoms

and there's some radishes ready in the garden

maybe it will even rain!

Merman and I are riding our bicycles to the track on Sunday for the 500. On the back roads so we miss all the drunken party people. Roads aren't too safe in some parts of Indy on Memorial Day weekend!

Mermaid: Ditto that! I lived in Speedway for a year in 2000 and we just watched the whole thing on the big screen at Union Jack's. Left right after the checker and missed the whole traffic jam. Plus we had cold beer, food, AC, and a waiter. All for less than the price of a ticket.
