and yes, you, too, North Carolina and Virginia south of Petersburg,
I had the opportunity just this week of driving Interstate 95 from north of Petersburg to south of Savannah, both ways. I went south on Monday and came back north on Friday. I was generally able to avoid the metro areas, such as they are, at rush hour. So you can imagine my surprise when I was confronted by stop-and-go conditions in random places and at random times while on my trip. Since I had plenty of time to sit there and look at my surroundings and consider their significance, the problem was almost immediately apparent. Widen the fucking Interstate!!!
There are those lovely little "Eisenhower Interstate System" which keep a watchful eye on the same number of lanes laid down when Ike was in office. Seriously, that was like 6 decades ago. I hate to think of the increase in cars and drivers - especially shitty drivers - and the congestion which used to be reserved for large cities is now . . . randomly dispersed. And when this is interrupted by an incident at mp 62, it brings everything to a screeching fucking halt until the Proper Authorities can get it all sorted out. Perhaps with another lane, there would be a bit more space to buy another second or three to help head off the arrival of Teh St000pid before it results in crushed steel and shattered plastic. I-95 has been too major a corridor to have languished in its original state for this long. Too many people and way too much freight depend on this ribbon of concrete to get from hither to yon. If Georgia and Florida can have their feces in a relatively cohesive state, so can you.
But there should be hope. President-elect Bad Hairpiece claims to be wanting to ramp up some serious investment in new/improved infrastructure. Get in line to get some shekels, nay talents. Granted, this widening effort will cost many times what the original highway did, but time is of the essence. SC, you had a Blinky Sign telling me that there were 900-and-some highway fatalities in your state this year. I'm here to wager that figure could drop with a more accommodating thoroughfare. I was sitting still in winter, and it was comfortable, relatively. It gets way-kinda-hot there come summers, and sitting still on the highway sucks as bad as being in the pit of Hell. So, don't be cunts. Remind The "Hair" that you went for him hit him up for serious talents, and build a road . . . that Wat can be proud of and will drive (and maybe praise) every chance he gets. And he plans to get more chances in the coming years.
And thank you for being home to Clemson and do you you can to help them kick some Buckeye ass.
Love,
Wat
