Drove down to Maryland to visit my daughter yesterday. Trucks every where. Big 18 wheelers pulling big 57 foot trailers. It was like diving along side a freight train. I figure a lot of 'em are delivering something, others are empties going out to pick up something. Either way it looks like business is getting better.
I did not see many Detroit passenger vehicles. Lotta Toyota, lotta Honda, lotta Kia, not much from Detroit. The pickup trucks mostly looked like company trucks or work vehicles.
Trip took me 12 hours, it usually only takes 11 hours. I ran into a terrific thunderstorm near Philly, just poured down rain. I had to ack off from my carefree 70 mph to like 40 mph cause the rain was so heavy that I had trouble seeing the road. And I took the scenic route thru Pennsylvania instead of the faster but boring NJ turnpike route. Tappan Zee bridge is gone. It is now calling itself the Governor Mario Coumo bridge. Ego trip much for New York's Granny Killer? It is the new bridge. They have got the old bridge down and scrapped. Not bad looking, pretty cable stayed design.
