A Word From Our Sponsors[]
And now for a word from our sponsors. That word is “carp.”
Traffic[]
And now, traffic.
Crews from the Department of Public Safety will be repainting highway lane markers this week. The common white dashes and double-yellow lane dividers will be replaced with colorful ceramic mosaics depicting disgruntled South American workers rising en masse against an abusive capitalist hegemony. The protective steel barriers along curves in the road will be taken down to make room for some really lovely and provocative butcher-paper silhouettes of slavery-era self-mutilation, reflective of centuries of slow genocide and dehumanization by western imperialists, designed by contemporary art darling Kara Walker.
Also, exits 15 to 17 along Route 800 will be closed for the next two Saturdays because of the biennial Lee Marvin Film Retrospective.
So, please watch for working crews this weekend. Lower your speed and don't forget to tip the DPS shift leaders. 20% of your current mileage is standard. Lack of tipping is the leading cause of sinkholes in the US.
Continuity[]
