    I know, I'm not LTL.. but still a rant. Backed DOWN an alley today to get away from an accident on 63 in Johnstown.... and the dang officer wouldn't let me FORWARD down that alley, because Co.Rd. 2 had a downed tree.
    Now if I got DOWN an alley in reverse...WHY can't I go forward the same way I came in?!?

    And sorry about the rampant paving, man. Partially my fault (i guess....) I bring them the sheeaz they need. Paving in THE RAIN today in Ohio. Yeah. Leaving the state in a few...we shall see how idiotic they all are~! ;)

    I-90 up here I just saw it traffic is all bunched up going down to two lanes they are doing some kind of work, I don't know if it's paving, but it's something.

    Took me an hour to get home from work today. Usually a 25 minute drive. It was just backed up. Literally no reason at all.

    I had a UPS guy in my neighborhood every day growing up and I swear he was on two wheels going around corners. I considered being one of those guys, but it's stressful, so many deliveries in a certain time, I think the guy was on crack to keep his day going, he couldn't stand still, like a bunny rabbit.
