So that's why 123 South was backed up all the way to 50 and Helo-1 was circling like a warhawk? Now I get it.

(no offense Warhawk)

The good news: the juvenile drivers license ceremony scheduled for this afternoon has been canceled. Might as well keep the amateurs off the road another week, right?
