    Can't remember off hand, one of them little burgs off the beaten path.

    What annoys me is the democratic national convention has enacted a ban on commercial vehicle traffic on I-95 in that area starting Saturday through the following Friday.

    Any of you headed through that area are going to be diverted, along with any dump trucks, buses, large RVs, garbage trucks, etc.

    It is going to be an absolute zoo. I recommend avoiding it if possible.

    MORNING! Breakfast, done. Brush fangs, bust out a pretrip, find a way to squeeze out of my parking spot (no thanks to the mouth breather who ignored several perfectly good spaces to park his rig in front of everybody), then knock out at least a nickel before I shut down.

    Gotta get a shower on my kindergarten nap today...some of my fleas refused to come with me when I loaded the new truck.

    (New truck has a pillow top mattress--I feel so loved right now)

    Capt., I do a lot of Philly area runs into the "back woods" of the region. If you want to give me your destination, I can probably help you route around the Dumbasz National Convention screwups.

    P.s. lifelong registered Democrat, born into a Democratic family....you don't want to know the language I use towards the RNC.....

    Thanks, but I'm a doofus who can't read a calendar. No directions can fix that.

    BTW I would have been equally outraged if it had been the republican national convention doing that. And just as doofus.

    Playing devil's advocate, it's for security concerns.

    Late lunch Denny's. Ordered the spaghetti. Won't be doing that again.

    (See, not a complete doofus-- I can be taught)
