Caroline in a Fredericksburg Wawa at 10:30pm. She had a great day until the car ride began to return to NC. An hour and a half was tacked on to the normal 9 hour drive thanks to the highway being closed in Delaware. Thanks to a phone call to Grandma Z, we were able to successfully navigate through a detour - the advertised AM station that is supposed to broadcast traffic information was silent (or the signal was imperceptible), and there were no apparent officers directing drivers through the detour. I normally reserve my scorn for my old nemesis Maryland, a state with a little over 100 miles of I-95 but plenty of tolls and constant construction, but Delaware managed to jump to the top of the list with last night's debacle. Well played, Delaware.

See, Maryland made a massive mistake when they finally raised the speed limit to 65 like the rest of the universe. They were so easy to despise when their speed limit was 55. It wasn't just that the speed limit was 55 MPH, but it was the little signs they had over the top of the speed limit signs that said "Still!" as if they were quite proud of themselves.

I'm glad to hear that Deleware is making itself known in some way. They've been milking their one claim to fame, "The First State," for over 200 years. I mean - really! - who cares? It's time for them to be known for something else.
