Long drive

Submitted by jstudent on Tue, 2005-08-30 10:49.  

A story on KYW.com blamed a horrific accident for long delays this morning on the eastbound Pennsylvania Turnpike.
According to the story, a livestock truck was rear-ended by another tractor trailer early Tuesday. The crash caused the death of several sheep and goats, and caused other animals to run wild across the highway.
No mention as to whether or not any of the delays were caused by drivers who fell asleep at the wheel while they counted the sheep who were running across I-276.

I'll take friendly barnyard baa-ers on my commute any day of the week over the jungle behavior of other shady travelers.
Last time I was headed to Helium via I-76, a driver in a neigboring car was up to some monkey-spanking business in the lane next to me and not a bit shy about it.
Yikes.
Even the sheep and goats know the time and place for that is not on the open road. Well, at least not on the Schuylkill.

Wonder if that was the same guy that WMMR listeners busted on I-95 one morning a couple of weeks ago. That wanker was driving a yellow Neon according to the thrilling on-air updates.
