WOW traffic already

Just got back from N. Andover... I was glad I was coming back home, going on cape was flying right a long.... but... long lines trying to get over the bridges off cape already, traffic 2 lanes full all the way back up to exit 9! moving, but slooow......
early exit for some, I guess... Bad news for me is I got to go off cape again tomorrow... guess I'd better get an early start.
Made it back in an hour and 50 minutes, probably take me 3 times as long tomorrow to get there... meybe I shoulda grabbed a motel (if I coulda found one that took the dog, that is)

same with us, we left at 4 and were home in record time
We also timed it right on Friday and hit zero traffic

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I headed off-cape at noon from Orleans on Monday, lots of traffic on suicide alley in particular, 35-45 MPH, still traffic after exit 9, Moving OK, till just before exit 3, slowww, then stop. Ducked off the exit, sailed down 6-A, and got in line for the bridge in front of the christmas tree shop, bumper to bumper, crawl over the bridge, jump on 3, boogie the rest of the way, got to N. Andover around 3. Came home that evening, well, I must have broken the speed limit , best time I ever made was an hour and 50 minutes... did it in an hour and 36, Monday night.... AND, I Was getting passed!

Article in todays paper says it was nowhere near as bad as years past, and I do believe it!
