I was cruising along and suddenly traffic ground to a halt. Ten minutes of stop-and-go later I saw what turned out to be a state trooper parked in the left lane along with a big yellow blinking construction arrow pointing to the right. Finally got to the Allegan exit and there were a couple more state boys with flares shunting everyone off the freeway and an Allegan County cop at the top of the ramp directing traffic. There was no sign of whatever caused this, however. I toured Martin at 10Mph and took back roads to Plainwell where getting back on 131 I saw nothing out of the ordinary. To digress: Further down 131 I *did* see a semi doing 25 for no apparant reason (and driving right past the D Ave. exit, of course). This seems to be a hot trucker fad because last week I got stuck behind a semi doing 25 on the S-curve. I got to watch this "professional driver" ignore THREE EXITS at the same speed as I waited to be rear-ended by some crappy G.R. driver (but I repeat myself). Pro tip for the truckers out there: If you can't even drive 40 then TAKE SURFACE ROADS! Traffic jams don't bother me, but truckers endangering everyone on the road by driving ridiculously slow when they have plenty of places to exit or pull off switch me right into kill mode. Anyway, I finally got back to Kalamazoo around 7:30. Now I'm looking at WWMT.com and MLive but of course they have nothing. What's the scoop? BTW: Messer, you should really start a blog. I'd like to see your thoughts without having to read all the spam and crazy ranting that get posted here (or all the juvenile BS on TheBroncoWeb).
