I would get on 30. There's some accident on Columbia Avenue right when you get into Columbia.
00:04
So I would just...
00:06
definitely recommend avoiding that.
00:08
I heard that get dispatch as I was leaving, so I think it was Columbia Avenue and 18th Street, which I believe is right when you near Annville, that area.
00:19
So I would avoid taking the 462 route.
00:25
But,
00:27
I don't know.
00:28
(name withheld) has book club tonight, so this will be Lucas and I and have to do some work at after 8.
00:32
So winding down, a lot of work too.
00:34
do this week before next week when the change freeze goes into effect.
00:39
So hopefully it's a nice slow week.
00:42
Two other people are off, so I have to, I guess, put my time in.
00:46
But last year I took a couple days off this year I didn't.
00:49
So I banked a whole boatload of days.
00:51
I'll have a bunch next year to take.
00:53
But until I get three weeks, I'm trying to front load it, so I carry over a week each year.
01:01
Okay, so I can carry over.
01:04
So what's the change, something that's that change or something?
01:08
It starts next week or the end of this week or something.
01:11
I missed that part, but...
01:13
Well, I was going to go into Columbia and then, you know, go over and against Chesa Street is the bridge to Wright's Phil.
01:24
That was kind of my thought pattern.
01:28
Link.
01:29
Yeah, I would avoid that.
01:31
They were shutting down Columbia there, so I don't know how you'll get through into Columbia unless you jump on the highway, but they called fire police from all over the place there.
01:41
Columbia Avenue and 18th Street, wherever that is.
01:44
So it's on the West Hempfield side, so it's when you get past that wise and there's a planet fitness and stuff, so it's somewhere in that general area, I believe.
