Posted (edited)

I leave my house @ 0450 today. Doing some vacation relief for some much needed OT (0600-1800). Sunday morning so i am cruising at 85 mph. next thing i see in the mirror is CHP behind me so i slow to a more respectable 75 mph. Motorcyle cop blows right by me. Whew.

 

Get to work to relieve the night shift guy and he is listening to the news...

I'm glad no one was killed.I also hope that traffic isn't an issue for you in the near future,that sounds like it's gonna be a mess for a while.

It made for an interesting morning work wise. We have 2 petroleum pipelines in the area. Phone would not stop ringing. I drive (used to) this freeway on average twice a week to do facility inspections. Guess I will be taking alternate routes for the immediate future.

That made one hell of a mess that is for sure.

 

that sure sounds like a terrorist scenario we have been concerned about.

 

I wonder........................

My Dad and I work for the same company and we were talking today about that very thing. If they never thought of it before it is all over the news now. I used to be a technician for BP Arco and we ran a marine terminal where we unloaded ships of gasoline, jet and diesel. They would bring in loads of 120000+ bbls (bbls=42 gallons of gasoline). That always seemed like a floating bomb to me. Scary. And then you think to yourself "did i just give someone an idea?"

If it was a terrorist initiated event, they could not have picked a better, (worse) spot to do it in.

 

I used to travel that route every couple of months while stationed up at the now non-existent, McClellan AFB.

 

Serious interchange there, I'd hate to have to find an alternate route through there for quite some time...
