OFF TOPIC and not for those disinterested as I fix typo's and add to an earlier post. I was on the road...Same time, different freeway. We have 2000 employed on this day shift today and we are a bit concerned with some people missing. We all hope the complete shut down of the hiway brings them our way later or back home. For those interested...That stretch of Interstate 5 where the accident occured is just south of the termed "Pocket Area" which is about 10 miles south of downtown Sacramento. Fog lays in condensed pockets (absolute 0 visibility) with breaks of full visibility every mile or so. We had a freeze last evening too. I have seen other freeways in the US that protect against the same pile-ups happening by setting very bright blinking amber lights on overheads with posted speed restrictions under such conditions. I think the governor, our mayor and other affluent locals might take notice this time and forget trying to portray a pretty image of a city that isn't by not building a 30 million dollar football stadium that most of us don't want and as 80% of our city schools leak at the roofs when the rain falls. The "Fantasy of Lights" at Cal Expo(2 million in all)is a damn joke! Oh, It's just beautiful, as I hear it and the only one in California like it. A 45 minute drive-thru costing $12-20 depending on vehicle size with total revenue expected to yield 7 digits. Hmmm! Seems to me...the city could cover both concerns. What about hanging a few thousand of those yellow bulbs over I-5 in the Pocket Area? I was driving one of my 3 sons to trumpet practice at 7am this morning in the fog on a different freeway. I feel lucky and ya...I'm just a bit pissed too.
