This was the scene OTR before I got home. Traffic, traffic and more traffic. I'm not looking forward to returning to it. As I've mentioned many times, just sitting in my living room with the only sound being the whirling of the ceiling fan, I can close my eyes, do some deep breathing and try to relax. I did take about an hour, a little while ago, to bring stuff out to the truck, organize it, make the bed and put away all the clean clothes. I checked to see if Artie Lange returned to the Howard Stern show, and he did, but who knows how long it's going to be before he explodes again, tries to hit someone again and quits...again. I wish, for me, time would slow down. I just felt like I got up and now its lunchtime. Please look at the photo on the left. Traffic was backed up for about 5 miles, but did clear up after about 45 minutes. Many 4-wheelers could not wait and chose to drive up the "shoulder" in the opposite direction from traffic.
