At least I got a bag of taco bell sitting here. Reading up on making and filling carts.

Looks like I've gotta invest in a press and get on the rosin making.

Fuck. That means working more night shift.

The reason for the pileups is people travelling too fast and too close to the car in front for visibility conditions. In my opinion, if you can't stop in the distance you can see, you are travelling too fast. However, this means that in thick fog if you can clearly see the car ahead, you will likely not be able to stop if that car runs into a pileup. So once the first collision brings traffic to a stop, the rest of the scrum cannot help piling into it if all the drivers could see one another, which is the norm. Easily described, but not so easily avoided. This retired bugger just doesn't drive under those conditions, at least not on busy freeways. Sadly, commuters sometimes have to travel in fog, and on occasion even the best drivers can get trapped in a pileup due to the reaction time effects in a long lineup.

All that, plus you can't see the road. Debris? Ice? Holes?

You do not understand Tule Fog. You can be driving along with 400 foot vis at 40 MPH and all of the sudden vis is 0 feet zero, just as if some one threw a white blanket over your windshield because the only distance you can see is to the inside of your windshield. You cannot see the hood of your car. If you slam on your brakes you will be hit from behind and if you don't you most likely will hit the car in front of you.

@Olderfart The correct answer is don't fucking drive in that shit it just might kill you!

@Son of Hobbes the free compressor drops it to 1.8MB and the quality is fine but it is cumbersome and awkward in the thread.

Can't wait to get home. Only 4.5 hours to go. Then it's time for Electric Wizard and a hefty vape session.
