NPR - AAA, the auto association, is projecting record-breaking travel volumes for the holiday weekend. The numbers are eye-popping: More than 50 million Americans are expected to travel 50 miles or more from home this weekend.
Most idiots will be driving, with 43.2 million people projected to hit the road - seemingly all at the same exact time. Another 4.17 million will try to fly - good luck with THAT. And more than 3.3 million are predicted to travel by bus, cruise or train.
Way too many people are going to be traveling, and that's despite high ticket prices, despite inflation, and despite the fact that too many people trying to do the same exact fuckin' thing they're trying to do at the same exact time.
People still think they have to get out of town to do something fun.
I can stay home and drink. But that's just me...
Independence Day,
ReplyDeleteYou don't say the "25th of December", do ya?
I got a new needle for my turntable, a dozen new albums that may or may not replace albums I already have depending how they play, a cooler full of beer & a batch of Alien Fresh jerky & that's my weekend. Not cooking , not cleaning & definitely ain't going anywhere.
