I 95 on a Friday afternoon !!!

[In_The_Wind]

especially between Richmond and Baltimore ~ what was I thinking maybe I should just nap here for an hour












Anybody want to call to wake me up in an hour?

I'll check back for volunteers after I return from a brief walk.




:hi:

[Burma Jones]

1. D'oh

I live in the DC area, Friday is a work at home day - period.....

[In_The_Wind]

12. I thought about it when I was making reservations.

I should have started north earlier.

[swimboy]

2. Uh-oh!

You're going to need another week at the beach after that! :hug:

:loveya:

What time do you want your wake up call? I still have your cell number in my pocket.

(Our lottery number did NOT come up--it would have just been a contribution to the Commonwealth of Virginia)

[In_The_Wind]

9. Keep my cell number in a safe place. It's been the same one since 1999.

I'm glad you didn't buy a ticket.

I stopped in Quantico for a mocha blast and a latte. I had hoped to push away the weariness of only 4 hours of sleep after eating 4 brownies last night. I forgot to bring my chocolate supplies up from the truck. :blush: The leftovers were great for a midnight snack. :loveya: I'll trust your choice of restaurant any time.:hi:

[wildhorses]

3. bless your heart...

:hi:






I figure you understand that I mean that in the best way possible:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

13. I'm real glad you explained that!

Remember saying bless your heart to a Southerner is akin to saying you poor dumb son-of-a-bitch you_don't_have_the_brains_god_gave_a_goose.




:hi: :loveya:

4. I was just on 95-south between balt & dc.

There's an accident nb on route 32, pretty much 15 mph from the beltway to 175. Goodluck!

[In_The_Wind]

7. I am in Maryland, at a lovely rest stop.

The very pleasant information agent said the two left lanes were closed due to an accident which just happened. I have a new CB that's never been installed because we couldn't figure out how to calibrate the antenna. I hope I can get some advice on doing that from liberaltrucker before I head west in July. :) Thanks for the PM. :hi:

The traffic seems to be moving again.

I'll shut down my laptop in a few minutes. Posting while driving is too :scared: challenging in heavy traffic.

[seemunkee]

5. and you think it will be better in an hour

How about we call you around 8

[In_The_Wind]

15. Thanks for your offer but by 8 PM I was enjoying a home cooked meal.

:thumbsup: With Jimmy Jazz and her two very well behaved daughters. :)


:hi:

[LostinVA]

20. It's 10:00 Saturday... she may be about 20 miles down the road by now

[sbj405]

6. I'm less than a mile off 95

Stop on by for happy hour.

[In_The_Wind]

11. Thanks but if I stop for happy hour, I'll never make it to JJ's tonight.

Her little girls would be so disappointed. We're all going to a botanical garden tomorrow.

Can I have a rain-check (even though the sun is beautiful today)? :)

[Beaverhausen]

8. The 405 in Los Angeles - anyday, anytime!

It's a parking lot, not a freeway!

not to mention the 101, the 5 and the 118.

[In_The_Wind]

16. I will be in California this summer but I doubt that I'll be driving in LA

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

23. Second trip to LA. I land at 5:00pm. My drive: LAX to Pasadena.

That's right kids, the 405 to the 10 to the 110. I was near-homicidal by the time I got to my hotel. Good thing my friend was being entertaining or I'd be in San Quentin, I think. ;)

[RebelOne]

10. Hope you don't plan on traveling I-75 in the Atlanta area

on a Friday afternoon. Worse than I-95.

[In_The_Wind]

18. I grew up in Atlanta before the perimeter was built.

I remember when Atlanta first began boasting about becoming the city with a 1,000,000 population.

[LynneSin]

14. You should have taken Rt13 up the coast

[In_The_Wind]

17. Great picture LynneSin! I was there last Wednesday.

I thought we were going to wander around a botanical garden today x( but the weather doesn't look right for that.

I really am looking forward to seeing you again before I continue home.

[LynneSin]

21. I don't know if that'll happen

I'm sick as can be with a fever of 101.

Perhaps we'll just wait until NYC - I'll probably give you a call later today

[In_The_Wind]

22. Do you need anything? You shouldn't go out in this weather!

I'll take a pass and a rain check on tomorrow. Maybe I'll surprise the folks at home by showing up early. :) I told them not to expect me before Monday. But if you need anything from the drug store I'll be brave about coming in contact with your germs.
Don't touch me or pay me for anything I pick up for you until NYC. I'll just leave your groceries, aspirin, tissues, fruit juices and cat treats outside your door. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

25. Stop at Happy Harry's!!

:bounce: They've got everything Lynne needs to feel better!

[In_The_Wind]

26. I've never heard of Happy Harry's. I'll have to take your word for it.

:hi: Are you going to travel east to play some golf and a NYC steak supper anytime soon?

[GOPisEvil]

27. Happy Harry's is a drug store in Delware.

I'd love to come up to NYC this month, but alas, with the new job, vacation days are at a premium. :hi:

[In_The_Wind]

28. I understand.

I didn't think you'd be able to make it but I didn't want to go running of on my last big Spring/Summer/Fall fling and miss anyone I have previous plans with.

How is everything going?

[GOPisEvil]

29. Everything is really good.

The job is going ok, personal life is going well, regular life is going pretty ok.

Oh, I almost forgot, I'll try to come out east when our European visitor makes her appearance. She's going to be around on Labor Day, no? Long weekend. :)

[In_The_Wind]

30. Excellent!

She'll be flying in 9/2 and out 9/23. We are driving down to Florida first to meet Clintmax then winding our way back north to meet swimboy and several more DUers along the way. Let me know when you're coming this way and where you'll be.

I'll be on your side of the country for a while this summer.:) I'm heading for the Gilroy Garlic Festival.

[GOPisEvil]

31. Maybe I can make two trips in one.

I can maybe see some friends in the DC/Baltimore/Philly area and catch you as you head down 95. Hrm...methinks a plan is developing. :)

Mmmmmm...garlic. :9 We just had Spamarama here. www.spamarama.com

[In_The_Wind]

32. oops, sorry about the duplicate reply ~

Welcome to my new mobile office after I go back to school for a little while.

[In_The_Wind]

33. It's sounding better all the time.

DC/Baltimore/Philly is only 5 hours from home.



Tell me about the Spam Ball. Was it fun?

[LostinVA]

19. You truly are insane

NEVER will I drive 95 anywhere near DC on that day... at that time....

[In_The_Wind]

24. Are you just now figuring that out? I thought EVERYBODY already knew that.

At least I didn't do it on my motorcycle. :)

Yes, I am nuts. I do things on a whim just because



:hi:

[LostinVA]

34. I suspected it, but needed empirical evidence to be sure...

[In_The_Wind]

35. Well. There you have it.

Anymore questions?
