Yeah, I try to "get out of Dodge" by 2pm when I'm on the other side of either, or both, tunnels.

I schedule any work, out that way, for just AFTER rush-hour in the morning.

When I say, "I'll be there just after rush-hour." to my customers, some respond with, "You mean after 5pm?"

Raf, I sometimes use a driver that does airport runs for me. It is usually around $50. At least you could drink beer while sitting in traffic! Let me know
if you are interested.

I (I am) pooped out.

My mom, Deb and I are home and gearing up for a busy tomorrow.

Everyone else is going to The Wooden Nickle and then to a karaoke joint, may be.

Like Annie says, "Tomorrow, tomorrow..."

WoW, it looks like I missed the Pitt get together :( I don't check this forum as often as I should, esp since it involves a cigar shop. Bloom's cigars? Hmmm I wonder if the Blooms are any relation to me, I have several 2nd cousins in Pittsburgh , and there last name is Bloom. I will have to check this cigar joint on on the way to a Steelers game this year. Enjoy YALLLLL
