So... don't breathe today: you have been warned!

I wonder if this is related to expected high traffic volume on Memorial Day?...

To be honest I found the traffic on Saturday evening, all day yesterday, and today so far to be very light. I traveled to the pines twice so far in record time. Everyone must be at the shore. You can tell that by how much traffic this site gets. It has been very light.

I saw gas today for $2.43

I drove to the shore Thursday afternoon and had more traffic then, then when I cam home Sunday morning. I was at the Promenade in Marlton all day yesterday for a car show, and traffic was especially light on 73 all day. Also, Ocean City NJ didn't seem quite as crowded as years past.

When Jessica and I were heading to the pines yesterday, we got off 295 north at 70 and when we looked up 70 there was no other car on the road from 295 to Springdale Road. That is hard to believe, especially when it was 4:45 in the afternoon.
