They shut down death trap highway 69 today in KC. This means my commute will probably add about 30-45 minutes to it. WTF did construction crews do all summer?  :curse:

I've been meaning to visit a friend up there. His name is stevedave. Why is that a bad weekend? I'm not coming up, it just sounds like you guys are planning to have a great time. I hate it when I miss great times.

69 south is blocked off right now. Take the 435 loop. Rumor is it will only be a couple days though.

69 south off I-35. So yes, JOCO territory. Take I-70 to 435 South and loop to JOCO territory. Fanning with all your traffic updates for goEMAW, sponsored by RevHoney
