The last few days, 95 has been a parking lot in the middle of the day.  Thank god for Phillips.

As we hit 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 dollar a gallon gas, we will not have to worry about that problem. Thanks to Obama's energy program and the Federal Reserve. It will be cost prohibitive to go anywhere.

*GASP*  The teabaggers were WRONG once again.  Who'd thunk it?

By the way, Clay County has some of the worst traffic in the State.

Years ago I served on a Clay County SR 21/Blanding Blvd. Citizen's Advisory Committee. County Planner wanted me on board.
The Planner was soon discharged.Dick Post harbored a predictive capability, was prone to warnings.

Reminds me of a Florida Times Union editorial years ago- Jacksonville only experiences traffic troubles at certain times of the day.

Brilliant.

And my inquiry as to the often then quoted and promoted Wonderwood "Expressway", which ended up rather fragmented,signalization.
The letter to me from the JTA confidently stated that the portion over the waterway,sans traffic lights, was the "Expressway" section.

I am in front of visitors to Jacksonville from parts all over and their comments and observations regards our 'traffic' is informative.

In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

I guess my less than a mile commute is not the norm. What traffic?

A 1 mile commute in a city that is nearly 800 square miles? Nope, its an exception.

I'm kind of with you on that.  The most inherent danger in my commute is tripping over a dog.

I always wondered about the "Phantom wreck ".

I wonder how accident rates would fare if there was a 600' cellular dead zone affecting all vehicular traffic surrounding all intersections?

I'm really good about putting my phone away while driving, but I can't say I haven't been caught-up 'redlight browsing'.

Thoughts?
