Wow, what a mess!  I thought Baltimore had it bad, with no east/west
expressway through the city and I-83 which doesn't go all the way south to
I-695 or I-95...  

Guess not!

You should of seen what I saw on my way home from DC this morning at 3
AM...

I was going northbound on 295 when an SUV in going southbound on the other
side was flashing his headlights like crazy.  I flashed back to acknowledge,
thinking he might be warning me of a speed trap ahead.  I slowed down a bit,
and a minute later, there's headlights coming at me in the left lane!  (I
was in the middle lane) 

ZOOOOM the full-size Ford kept going.  I sure hope he didn't hit anyone.

2 minutes later I come up on a state trooper, and I'm thinking, geez, why
didn't you get that guy?  Then again, what could he do, make a U-turn?  :)
