    Let us see if it will be ready in 3 days. NO WAY! Who are they kidding. I advise everyone to leave their home to work at least 1/2 hour earlier because of all the traffic going over the hill to get to town. No speeding or tailgating, but I know some idiots will do the opposite and cause a crash on the only road we have available.
