Just finished up a 685 mile drive - lots of traffic on interstates that are normally deserted. Weather wasn't great but other than that the drive was good.
Picked up someone at CRW last night - coincidentally the same time that the screeners came off shift. I counted 14 TSA employees in one shift for an airport that might handle 750 passengers a day.
I drove 550 miles / 9 hours (one way) to New York for an extended weekend. But coming back yesterday (Tuesday before Thanksgiving), the traffic was much heavier, it took me about 11 hours on the road.
I was also floored at how little traffic there was at Newark airport.
I hate that I'm now at an age where I could afford and do weekend air trips, but I can't now.
