Where's The Traffic?

There isn't any traffic on the roads Friday AM.

Why ?

Does this happen anywhere else, or is it just some Raleigh/Cary/Durham thing ?

I know it's not the work schedule of a single large employer, because I've worked all over the area, and it happens no matter which direction I'm going. My lovely wife "works" at home on Fridays, but she's the only person I know who does that. Stores are open on Fridays, so I know the retail people have to go in. Schools are open on Fridays, so it can't be that kid-shuttle traffic isn't running.

What's going on?

Hardcore!

This:

The Republican National Committee inadvertently sent a fundraising mail piece earlier this month with a return number that leads to a phone sex line offering to connect callers with “hot horny girls … students, housewives, and working girls from all over the country.”

...

“Hey there sexy guy. Welcome to an exciting new way to go live one-on-one with hot, horny girls waiting right now to talk to you. Lie back, baby. Relax and get ready to meet real local students, housewives, and working girls from all over the country. Hundreds of hot girls call free all day and night cuz we love nasty talk as much as you do. Hot amateur talk and voice personals for just 99 cents per minute.

...reminds me of a song!

We wrote this in... 1990 (?). Tho "wrote" is a bit grand. It's more like we recorded this and then either decided not to, or forgot to, record over it with something better. Or maybe we never came up with anything better. I forget. We were drunk. For like five years straight.

Time Stand Still

About a half-hour ago, I looked over at my big fancy office phone to check the time. It said "4:01". "Fantastic!", I thought, "Only 44 minutes to go!"

I just looked at the phone again, to see what time it was. Still "4:01".

Oh, yeah. "4:01" is the date part of the display.
