Avoid DC on Friday.

A bunch of morons with big trucks plan on causing traffic chaos. Well, at least more chaos than usual.

They must not be doing to damn bad if they can afford to waste an entire working day burning up fuel and making asses of themselves.

Morons indeed. Isn't D.C. a ghost town with so many furloughed and the tourists unable to visit the sights? Betcha damn few of these idiots are Teamsters.

They'll probably get stuck in traffic in Woodbridge and Rockville while trying to make it to their rallying spots on the beltway. Anyone who voluntary drives into DC rush hour traffic has a screw loose.

Actually, the day time traffic has been worse than normal around here as furloughed folks go out and do stuff. Rush hours have been lighter though.

"Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth pullin' logs
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We was headin' for bear on I-one-oh
'Bout a mile outta Shaky Town
I says, "Pig Pen, this here's Rubber Duck.
And I'm about to put the hammer down."

Well my rig's a little old,
But that don't mean she's slow.
There's a flame from her stack,
And the smoke's rolling black as coal.
My hometown's coming in sight,
If you think I'm happy your right.
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.

Pete

Ours rides across San Francisco one Friday commute a month. They are kinda like Teabaggers in that they believe they are above the law.
