Frank and Ernest by Thaves for April 11, 2020

It is sad…

I live in a small town (8k), and traffic is still the same – so many people are sure it’s only in the cities.

considering the way folks around here drive, it’s like paradise on the roads these days…

Typical rush hour traffic on I94 in western North Dakota any day of the week.

If there is one thing that we do not need to be reminded about, it is this. I read the comics to escape, thank you.

If you’re a cyclist, its wonderful!

Wonder just how much less CO has been produced since the ‘hunker down’ regs came into use? Atmosphere has got to measure relatively cleaner, even if only by a tiny amount.

I live near the Bluewater Bridges (yes, side-by-side spans carrying multiple lanes of traffic between Port Huron, MI and Sarnia, Ontario, Canada). On any “normal” day, traffic is backed up and creeps along for hours.We are still allowed to go to the Thomas Edison Parkway viewing area to walk, sit in the car and enjoy the calming effects of the St. Clair River, or photograph passing ships. With the new C-virus mandates, it’s beyond strange to see only an occasional vehicle on the Bridges and even stranger the quiet that brings!

The climate change guys are rejoicing… and “this” is only part of what it would take to be somewhat effective.

It’s like driving in the 50s.

Less traffic. Less Smog and Pollution. But I got to eat.

In my neck of the woods traffic hasn’t dropped off near that much. Fools are still flocking to the few stores that are still open just to “shop”….

I live in the San Francisco Bay area and a consequence of this decrease in traffic is much cleaner air. The other night I looked up to the ski and actually saw the Big Dipper! Hadn’t see it for a long, long time. Keep safe everyone, wash your hands!

I’m considered essential (oil industry) so my commute continues. I have added 2 MPG to my average since I don’t hit traffic jams on my way home. It is weird, tho.

Too bad all the necessary road construction can’t all be done now.

Fix the potholes!

best part of all this is I am getting 2 weeks to the gallon.

I drove down our main street yesterday and not one car parked anywhere and there is a casino on each end of the block.
