said at 28th and King as a light is back all the way I'm blocking the on-ramp to get onto the interstate.
00:08
Now that, they gotta try to do something different, man.
00:11
I know that you gotta get that road done, but some gotta be different.
00:18
And I'm talking about getting on eastbound right here by the shop.
00:22
I haven't even gone underneath the interstate yet.
00:24
It's going to be back all the way after the holiday now.
00:27
Not the other side.
00:29
How can you cheat go around? I mean, you got to go down in King.
00:33
You've got to go down in King.
00:34
You don't have a choice.
00:35
I guess I could have gone down to Central, but I wouldn't expect the traffic to be this past.
00:39
Yeah, I'd run in if I could sneak in the back, like if I have Archie's tomorrow,
00:44
sneak in the back, you know, just talk somebody over and say, hey,
00:48
I'll lock it, unlock it, I'll lock the gate just to save the time, but, you know, that is.
00:55
Probably not. Very up and wait.
00:56
So I got in this line at (number withheld).
00:59
I'll let you know when I get the wind call off.
01:01
I'll call you on the radio when I get there to put back this wetline.
01:04
Do you want me to bring your lunch or you think you'll be in before lunch?
01:10
Yeah, I don't know.
01:11
That's for the bad choice.
01:12
Oh well, what can you do?
01:14
Too late now, you can't get out of it.
01:17
I'll just stay down here and haul my honey.
01:19
I'm afraid if I get out of this right lane, I'm not going to get back in it.
01:23
But it's already gone three cycles and I'm not even underneath the overpass yet.
01:27
What do you think you'll get done today, three or four?
01:30
There's no way to, I mean, you gotta do something on King, that's the only way you can do it.
01:34
How far did you say it goes up, from 20th to what?
01:37
For the holiday in there, the hall of that road, you know, that our chums on.
01:43
No, no, I mean, when they're doing the redoing the road, it's from 20th to how far up?
01:50
South 293 wide stuff there by Hertz Park.
01:54
Well, we got a lot of customers in between that too.
01:57
Wow.
01:58
up here and start writing gridlock tickets for people that stop in the middle of the intersection when they can't get through it.
02:04
Because you get off the Laurel Road, you know, I'm merging into that right lane there,
02:08
and that right lane is closed, so I can't even see the end of the line down there on Laurel Road trying to get off the King.
02:15
Well, if this makes you feel any better, Danny, what I'll do is I'll take this, drop this sludge off, take up on that other one then go in and have a cup of coffee and popcorn.
02:26
That would make you feel better.
