Hell, I can take any one of at least 5 ways to my house, and I live out in the sticks.

Im strangely fascinated blocking a roadway. Idiots amuse me. I used to get upset at people trying to get around my roadblock. Now I write them tickets, not like I can't block the road and write them. Most pissed off people to ever get a ticket. I honestly don't think a ticket for any charge pisses people off more than a ticket for going around a roadblock. If I have to write a ticket, I take a picture of the roadblock to bring to court. I love showing the judge exactly what the moron tried to get around.
North Dakota just had to increase their fines for people driving on the closed interstate when they shut it down because of weather. Cause people are stupid enough to drive around the closed sign and then whine when when they're stuck and LE either doesn't come or it takes 8 hours. doh!
We just experienced a whole new level of crazy stupidity in the DC area. We got hit fast and hard with a really nasty snow storm Wednesday night. The federal government, trying to help, dismissed all it's employees two hours early... just as the storm really wound up.
Yeah, gridlock. Everyone in the world was saying "stay put, wait it out, don't get on the roads" because the plow/snow treatment folks couldn't move, either. (In the space of 30 minutes, I went from "nah, don't need chains" to "need chains NOW!") Thursday was spent towing cars abandoned on the roadway... People would just leave their car wherever it was... I came across about 3 in the #2 or #3 lanes on a four lane interstate, for example. I figure some of them aren't going to find out where their cars are until the tow company tries to locate them prior to auctioning it...
