Good Lord, had to reroute last Thurs because of a wreck and just made it back home from our appointments today. I pray every time I go across that this doesn't happen.

another semi? wrecking and shutting down Causeway, that's two in a week. I think it's too skinny for them, they need to take the Twin Spans and Manchac bridges, keep them off Causeway.
