1. It is still blocked

I just looked at the VDOT traffic cam and the tank trunk is still there to pump out the fuel.

3. One mell of a hess!

I've not had to drive that area for over a year since I had to quit the wedding gigs. I miss the gigs , but not the drive.

4. Fortunately I've HAD to drive that area,

only done so occasionally, am now far away in southern MD, and staying here!
