I had an epiphany on my way to work this morning...
Normally I avoid I-35 like the plague if I can't get on it before 7 AM and take Shields downtown. This morning as I was approaching I-35 I noticed traffic was moving very smoothly. So I made the snap decision to hop on and enjoy this anomaly.
Got about half way to downtown. Everyone was driving friendly, doing at, or near, the speed limit, no swerving between lanes, no brake checking.... Then it dawned on me what today is!
Even when I got off the interstate I only saw one car run a red light this morning... Most mornings I see multiple cars run every signalized intersection.... I'm guessing this must have been one of those "essential" government employees that didn't get today off.
Take the government employees off the highways and they become safe and enjoyable to drive on.... Everything runs smoothly... Imagine that!!!
