Last night 15 'articulated lorrys' (see the chicken thread by Killearn Kittens)
crashed in a tunnel on the interstate just north of my house. The fire burned for some 16 hours and it will be closed until they figure out on how badly the the road above the tunnel was affected.

The freeway is the main way to get to the northern part of the state from Lost Angeles and there were people who were stuck in traffic for hours. The local radio news station had a reporter who was driving the area giving status reports on the roads.

The area to the north of the accident is packed with restaurants because the Magic Mountain amusement park is there.


The news reader told the reporter that the area eateries were packed probably packed and that people who were waiting for the road to clear would be better off going to get a bite to eat while waiting. The reporter agreed that it was a good idea!


The news reader then said, "And remember to over tip the waitresses."


I laughed.

A few weeks ago I had breakfast with my brother at a Denny's....The waitress was so good she was annoying!
