    There's a technical term. When you're driving down the road, minding your own business, and suddenly you're in a traffic jam. You fight through the jam and never see what was causing the disturbance. The phenomenon is called a "density wave." It happens whenever discrete objects are moving in a flow, like traffic on a road, water, stars in a galaxy, stuff like that. If anything happens to disrupt the flow it disturbs the density and that density wave can persist for a long time even after the initial particles are long gone. Now you know; there was a reason, you're just there for the after party.

    Weight stations are mandatory if you get a red light but if you get a green you can bypass….that is if you have a fast pass it doesn’t matter how much you weigh…..good job on the backing up tho
