Pattern Fun I 95

[ronlock]

Eric,

I 95 was OK for a while, but slowed- a bunch.  Navigator Todd Siegel
in the lead van elected to bail out of I 95 to State 34 west.-  45 mph
and stoplights felt much better than 10 to 20 on 95.   It was a
very senic drive along the Housatonic river.  Then I 84.  Got home
in 7 hours, including a dinner stop.
