Crossed northbound today
Crossed in the regular lane today at San Ysidro around noon. Total wait time was 1 hour, not bad. I got waived right through but it seemed like they
were being a little more diligent with other cars. The lineup started about 100 meters after the shops.
Drove up near to LAX and never had to slow down, open the whole way. For whatever reason everyone was driving about 5 mph than normal. When I was
going 74-75 mph in the fast lane I had a line up behind me.

Great news, I heard they closed 6 lanes at SY for some kind of barrier/lane upgrade.

The 405 wasn't a ghost town, there were lots of cars but not enough traffic to cause any delays or slowdowns.
Fast food restaurants were open and I was hungry so I stopped at one, just a couple of cars in front of me with a young and cheerful window cashier.
I tipped her (Never thought about tipping a window attendant before) and she seemed very surprised like no one has ever done that before. It actually
made my day and made me feel good as she was risking herself to Covid and should be rewarded for doing so. Funny how we have become a heavy tipping
society but never heard of the minimum wage worker at the window ever given tips.

Went for a Breakfast burrito this morn and left a good tip.
I've been told several times at the larger fast-food operations that their not allowed to accept tips; Wendy's, El Pollo Loco, McD's. Never seen a
taco shop that refused them!

Not sure what else has been learned on this board, but at least now we know the identity of the knucklehead that insists on driving in the "fast"
lane, while a parade of cars queues up behind.

For you pathetic sad people who have nothing better to do than spew negative mindless drivel on the Internet, as soon as I saw the line up I pulled
into another lane.
If I knew it was one of you I would of slowed down.

Speaking of Speaking .............
The increased frequency of Fed, State and Local televised briefings/press conferences has led to a VIRAL increase in the use
of "Dais" and "Podium" to refer to the "LECTERN."
C'mon. Let's get it RIGHT !

Directly from an English professor from a well known university when I proposed the same question:
You’re asking the grammEr expert? Here’s my best shot. My thinking here is that “was” stays “was” and isn’t “were” because what
is conditional is the knowing, not the being. And “would of” is (always?) wrong.
Had I known it was one of you, I would have slowed down.
So we were all wrong. I might of even worded all of this incorrectly.

Howard, I apologize for being on your tail. I did not want to be that close, but in my little Kia with oversized tires, drafting is almost the only
way I can maintain that speed.
After you moved over, the guy behind me locked bumpers and pushed me for a while until I pulled into pit row!
I hate driving in southern California!

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Re: driving in so cal. Use turn indicators and remember your not asking permission but signalling intent (said the guy in the F-250) and don't forget
the 'left lane is for passing only' and 'slow traffic keep right' and you may make it to Bakersfield or San Ysidro unscathed. YMMV.

13 states will ticket you for driving in the left lane if not passing others.
California, the land of laws and regulations, still has not gotten smart enough to enact this legislation.....
But, I find that when the chippie is in the ticket mood he almost always picks the dude in the far left lane. Only exception is the little idiots
with the big tail pipes that switch lanes like a slalom racer.
