WSP warns leadfoot US2 Skiers

I'm sure you are an excellent driver. Where you the guy they used for this video?

That's me except I have thick hair, I'm taller and better looking and I drive a lifted Dakota.

OOOH Cowboy Cadillac. I like it!
Crystal Boulevard report from today.
After a very fine day of powder skiing I was able to negotiate Crystal Boulevard at an average speed of 42 mph and the Federal cop was not seen.
410 was bare and wet and pretty empty so I was able to average 65mph with max speed of 71 mph and felt safe and in control.
I managed to cut in the line at the last moment on the SR16 merge but hit slower traffic near the Tacoma Narrows Bridge which frustrated me so I jumped into the HOV lane and drove that as it was dark and wet and nobody could see I was alone.
Very satisfying powder skiing AND driving today.

PS. A Crystal employee, a young lady, seemingly late for work , overtook some cars on 410 this morning and spun three times and then rolled over. She is reportedly OK....info from gossip central at Wapati Bob's( unconfirmed)

I saw that rig being towed down the hill. It looked like it was hammered by a big tree.
Of course up here in our neck of the woods, if a car is taken out by a fallen tree we buck the tree up and cart it away before we even see if the occupants are OK.

Seriously for some reason the downhill traffic was buckled down to 40-45. It must have been city folks searching for Christmas trees while driving down 410.

Really... , bummer...I had a peachy drive.. Only really slow bit was Fife to Tacoma Dome but even that was good because I was able to answer all my e-mails and make my calls while driving with my knees on the wheel.

I keep sayin, there's an epidemic. This is worse than I remember it in the past.
