Maybe the hippies got detoured to Texas--I was just tied up in traffic for over an hour due to two very old Volkswagon buses colliding and overturning. I don't know how many were injured (or killed), but both sides of the highway were lined with the scariest, dirty hippy types that I have seen in a long time. Maybe they're having a convention in these parts, as I haven't seen that many old psychedelic painted Volkswagons in one place since the 60's.
Way to go with the Red, White, and Blue rally, Washington Freepers!
