Solid three lanes full, bumper to bumper from Knoxville until the exit to get off 75. Moving fast most of the time.....frequent slow downs and accordian effects all the way....
far too many kamikazee nut jobs trying to break the sound barrier and moving up only one space!!!!!

there are many more inconsiderate fools who revel in driving slow in the fast lane than ever. They truly are unconscious, don't care or very stupid....passing lane hogs

We did have a great Christmas....but will resume celebrating here in TV or points further South.
You forgot to mention a few things: The welcoming warmth of family and friends! No waiting lines at even really good restaurants! What's the difference in kamikaze "nut jobs" on the interstates and kamikaze "nut jobs" in the Publix parking lots or even inside Publix? I won't even mention the "inconsiderate fools who revel in driving in the local roundabouts"!

Course my "up north" doesn't produce enough snow to compare!
