Traffic Jam
Highway 287 (northbound) was shutdown by DPS in Rhome this evening (at least it was at 6:30) and it was a mess. The troopers were diverting the traffic on 287 to the service road that would lead past Dairy Queen AND the traffic coming from 114 was diverted to the same service road. From what I saw, traffic was backed up for a mile.
I'm not sure what the problem was. I saw two trooper cars and two DOT trucks underneath the bridge that runs over 287 between Dairy Queen and the convenience store that houses Grandy's. I didn't see any remnants of a crash and there didn't appear to be a fuel spill. But I could be wrong.

That was a "Publicity Stunt" to get people to drive down here in Newark.
We now have a new "Dollar General" :)
If we just can get the "Meth" freaks under control things would be perfect ;)

Funny
I saw it. A large round tank pulled by an 18-wheeler was LODGED under the bridge. There were skid marks on the concrete bridge where they had tried to back up or pull forward to get it out. Hope they thought to let the air out of the tires to get it clear....
We laughed outloud when we drove by.
They didn't get the word that the 18 wheeler running on rims Sunday had been stopped.
