Time-Lapse Photos And Interpol Link

Someone sent me this web site.  I am not sure if it was supposed to be public, but it has no password, and no warning…so here goes:

And here is the link to Interpol.  There is a world-wide search for a pedophile and you might recognize this face:

Sometimes Things Work Out

Last Thursday there were feelings of impending traffic nightmares as the Tennessee DOT closed down a stretch of I-40 in Downtown Knoxville for fourteen months.

It didn’t happen.

There were no nightmares.

It was a non-event.

The public relations effort by TDOT apparently worked.  And I think news media cooperation helped, too.  By the time the actual closing took place, most of the area’s commuters knew about the closing, and had picked their alternate routes.

Today was an important test for I-640 and it was barely noticed.  There was a three vehicle accident around Broadway on the westbound lanes…right in the middle of the road.  Within a few minutes, officers and TDOT HELP Truck operators had moved the damaged cars to the side.   I understand that today’s crash was no major eighteen wheeler crash, but at least we know the traffic system can work during normal conditions.

I may be a cynic.  But I know success when I see it.
