Sure glad I checked the local headlines

[Gone in 60]

Went to the L.A. Auto Show with some friends last night and drove over the reopened section of freeway.
The city is certainly patting itself on the back... all of the digital message boards along the freeways say "10 Repaired In Days, Not Weeks. Thank You For Your Patience!"

Speaking of pallets, I never noticed, but in that area of the city which is purely industrial, there are mountains of wooden pallets stored in yards. At least I have my direct route back to work on the weekends.
