IL to MO - a commute

For those who think it's CRAZYtalk to live in IL and work in MO...

• 7:54 a.m - back out of driveway in Belleville
• 8:13 a.m. - cross river, slow down for everyone slamming on their brakes because they don't know how to get to 70/55/44 and 40 is closed. WHAT the WHAT? The entire bridge is poorly signed and out-of-towners don't know what to do!!
• 8:17 a.m. - exit the interstate
• 8:19 a.m. - pull into parking space on the other side of the river. Past downtown.
  

And there you have it folks. What a great way to start the day.
