Today there was an accident on the Interstate north of us about 12 miles north of us. Traffic was diverted from the Interstate onto our highway. About 3 miles past us southbound is the next on-ramp for the Interstate. Traffic has been at a crawl out front since 3PM and it is now 8PM.

Accompanying this slow, very slow, procession of traffic are the large trucks hauling goods or pulp-wood. They seem to delight in using the exhaust bypass called a Jake brake. I have blogged on this before, calling them Whoopee cushions on wheels. Some of them are loud, some rattle the windows, evoking memories of youth testing the theory of hearing loss as we stood in front of giant speakers at a concert.

The day would not be complete without the regular traffic heading in the opposite direction. Many of which have just sat through a congested intersection and are ready to speed their way homeward. They are the 4 wheel Redneck version of Noise Pollution. Of course, I have written about them in the past. These people are just a tad old in my opinion, to be making noise just for the sake of making noise!

Comments welcome,
