    Once it got dark and before it went Total, there were a lot of drivers gong down the interstate complaining about people parked on the shoulder and even the families sitting in the grass around the businesses,
    They claimed they didn't have time to stop??
    AND drivers were leaving their parking spots and the fuel isle, mere moments before.
    I should have spent the night there, there was way more traffic than I expected. Way more

    Haha!! No kidding. I might turn in the keys, move to Oregon, and study to become a therapist. I think you just gave me a 5 client lead.

    I battled traffic this afternoon en route to Oklahoma City ALL the way down 44 from St. Louis. I finally got to the state line and said F a big bag of this I'm done for the night. Normal day I'd been in OKC by either now or sooner. Not today. :mad:

    Yeah, he was just trying to prove all those warnings not to look at the sun were fake news.
