Hazleton, PA (USA)

[drove to work very early - escaped from the office after a full day (1800) - found the city streets clobbered and it was a nightmare of traffic to get to Memorial Bridge - got across the Potomac and got on George Washington Parkway - phone calls and more traffic jams - finally got on I-495 - then used I-270 and US-15 (traffic improving by then) - all the way to I-81 (through town) - more phone calls - continued to Hazleton (PA) - used Can Do Parkway to get into town - found Hazleton Motor Lodge around 2230 - as I was parking, people stuck in the parking lot asked me for a jump start (happy to help - again) - reading, bed late (2330)]
