Two cars on the side of the road with a trooper.
00:03
I get you got to slow down, but you don't got to stop.
00:07
But you're supposed to slow down below to post its speed limit. But it is in the left-hand lane. It's not.
00:12
No lane is working any better than the other until you pass it. And then it's wide open, of course.
00:18
So back on the Audubon.
00:20
K-E-4 is EAA.
00:24
It's a critical mass of human stupidity.
01:00
People get over when they can and slow down, but we were going three and five and two all the way up to the scene, and then by the trooper, of course, being cautious, but at 15 miles an hour, and I'm like, all right then, I guess I'd just...
01:20
What it creates, but yeah, it's backed up to Oakwood now, so we're going northbound, so there you go.
01:26
That's crazy to me that those people are slowing down that much.
01:30
The lights on the other side of the cable barrier, but anyways,
01:35
now I'll be where I need to go here just a little bit, so I'm going to jump out too, but good talking to you, John, everybody else, 73, Sam, good to hear you, K-E4 ZAA.
01:47
Have a good one, W2WTF. I should have stayed at work and got more things done. I'm not sure it's a wreck.
02:01
I didn't really see any damage. I just seen two cars and a trooper. If it was, it was just a little rear end thing, no big deal.
02:10
Good sight him for not moving it out of the road.
02:13
Yeah, I'd not even to exit 22 yet, and I got on at YMCA.
02:26
Well, I'd like to say it should be moving by time you get there, but you know how that is.
02:33
If he gets out of there, then yeah, it should open up.
02:37
But, you know, it'll still take a while for all that to get flushed out, I guess.
02:41
John, have a good night. I got to jump out. I'm about to be here.
