How Long Can You Last?

It's been a while since I've been on here. Things have been super busy at the office with some flight safety part issues. Nights have been packed full between video editing and band practices.

September 11, 2001
In other news, today is the 3rd anniversary of 9-11... let us all take a moment and say a prayer for those families who lost loved ones in this tragic event.

Are You Ready For Some Morons?
I have to start off with this from Friday morning.

The best thing about this time of year is... FOOTBALL!!!

What's even better than football is "MORON TRIVIA". Glenn Beck plays this game where he calls gas station attendants in the cities where the 2 competing NFL teams are from. A series of 'common knowledge' questions are asked, and I am always amazed at some of the answers these people give. (Tune in weekday mornings on AM800 from 8:00AM-10:00AM)

Here's the game from Friday morning. Please take the time to read this table, and LOOK at the answers these people give... The one in the 3rd quarter about, "I before E, except after..... " was just hilarious.







On to everything else that happened yesterday
So how long can you last.... without sleep? I was up for 24 hours straight yesterday (Friday). Why? I'm glad you asked. It's simple, I woke up at 6:00 AM like I do on every day to go to work. Worked until the early afternoon, went in and got my paycheck, hung out with Moriah, and then got a haircut.

At 7:00 PM, a trip to Birmingham happened. Ended up leaving there at midnight. I was driving back and had passed Gardendale, when I came upon cars which were stopped on Interstate 65 Northbound. Cars were in front of me as far as the eye could see, and they were quickly lining up behind me.

We stayed stopped on the interstate.... until 5:00 AM... yes my friends, I was in a traffic jam from 12:45 AM to 5:00 AM... 4 hours and 15 minutes. I got home at 6:00 AM this morning.

I stopped at exit 304 in Cullman to let the flood gates open, and on the way out asked the attendant lady what had happened on the road. Turns out an 18 wheeler had hit a tour bus, and the tour bus had exploded.... That happened at 9:00 PM, and they didn't get everyone out, and the stuff cleared until 3:45 AM.

As I'm sure some of you are thinking right now... yes, I was like John Kerry having a bad day on the house floor.

It sux it happened to those people. But, it would have been easy to close one southbound lane, so north bound traffic could be routed across the median at one of those turn around places, and gone around the wreck.
