We were talking about traffic before. JP, I guess, was coming back from Georgetown. I was coming back from Dulles late last night. And, you know, they're always doing construction, no big deal. But they're, like, closing off exits. And my ways wasn't quite tracking with that they were actually shutting down exits.

And I was just like circling Tyson's.

I called my wife and said, I don't know what to do.

I said, it was like 1115 a night or, you know, I was like, I don't know how to get on the

beltway.

And even when you got on the beltway, it was standstill.

But I knew at least once I got on, eventually I would get home.

I consider just coming here.

But I couldn't even come here because I have to drive to Cornell today.

It's crazy.

I had a similar thought.

That's brutal.

Because I had a pack for that.

I had a misstep. So I went the wrong way on the beltway off of, I just brain fart. I'm listening to Monday night or Thursday night football on the radio. I understand. And I headed toward Tyson's and I had to turn around. And's exactly where it's difficult to get back on.

You couldn't get back on and the next thing I know I'm going up the toll road and then I'm dip into Georgetown Pike. It was an odyssey and then you're just stuck in traffic. Not an odyssey, an odyssey. Yes. Yeah, it was an honesty. It was a nightmare. What they're doing is reprehendant. It should be criminal what they're doing.

Well, they have to do it, I guess, at some point of the day,

and they choose to is reprehending. It should be criminal what they're doing.

Well, they have to do it, I guess, at some point of the day, and they choose to do it at night. I have to close off the exit. That's the thing. That I don't know. I mean, I just couldn't get back on the thing. I literally thought about calling in. I was like, I just need to take a personal day. I don't know how I'm going to be able to function.

But I thought about this as I was near the Dolly Madison Parkway or whatever it is, that exit.
