If you're out mobile, I'd avoid I-14 outside of Nolanville right now.
00:10
Well, copy that.
00:12
However, I don't even think I'm in the same county here, and I'm down here north of Houston.
00:20
Okay, you're coming in remote. All right. Well, I'm sure there's some traffic out that way, too.
00:26
Oh,
00:32
absolutely, man.
00:33
Houston's an hour away from Houston. That's how much traffic we have.

I hear you, I've played around up that way a few times. It is no Bueno, no matter what time of day it is.
00:52
Yeah,
00:58
absolutely, man. Well, come on in, Mike Whiskey Hotel.
01:01
Sounds like a pretty new call sign.
01:10
Yes, I've been licensed maybe two, three weeks now,
01:16
so yeah, brand new.

Just wondering about I-14 in Nolanville, I'm not headed down I-14, but I am going through that area in a little bit. Just wondering if it's just normal everyday stuff or is there some kind of, you know, some kind of a wreck or something.
01:39
It looks like it's some sort of accident. They got the highways shut down both directions,
01:43
and everybody's trying to get on the outroad, but the outroad's not moving either, so I assume they got to shut down to get a helicopter in or something.
01:57
Okay, that's not good.
02:00
Cool, so I'll be,
02:03
that kind of, thank you, that changes my plans for later. I'm going to take 35 instead of the loop.
02:17
Yeah,
02:18
we've been at Exit 292 for about going on almost 10 minutes now, just kind of trickling up a couple feet at a time. But yeah, if you can avoid this area,
02:29
do. I hate to say 35 may be better because it's usually not, but it's better than sitting still.
