Toilet bowl emergency management. Nicely done.

"Toilet bowl" anything involves sitting down on the throne, taking a shit, and for the length of time that shit takes, you become a foremost authority on that topic and tell everyone how wrong everyone else is because of what you were able to Google.
Nice. Whatever… I’ve been stuck on I70 in an ice storm behind a pileup. There was no going back or forward for 4 hours. We doubled up in cars to conserve gas and warmth. I was also on the Cumberland bridge on 68 about 10 years ago when a semi full of cantaloupes caught fire and blocked off 68E. Lucas and I helped guys direct traffic and block the shoulders so cars could turn around on the shoulders and drive up the entrance ramp. Burning cantaloupe is a very weird smell…
So yeah, this isn’t exactly sitting on a toilet talking out my ass.

Do you think those experiences make you a subject matter expert in either traffic emergencies generally or this situation in the desert in particular?
Here's my thing about this. I'll walk through the thought process and identify where I have a problem.
- Look at that video!
- That woman's annoying.
- Her video is annoying.
- I wouldn't make such an annoying video.
- And I wouldn't be as annoying, either.
- Here's what I would do...
- And what I would do would be flawless and perfect and I'd be just fine.
- I'm smart and this person isn't because she made an annoying video and I didn't.
I don't see what the fuck the point is in fixating on #3. We're just going to arbitrarily cherry-pick the internet for an endless supply of shitty videos? What in the hell for?
And somewhere between #5 and #8 we get to blowhard activity and wishful thinking.
Please love yourself.

Just wait until he gets lost on his drive to Cornwall and gets stranded in the middle of rural Wales with nothing for company but two extremely agitated sheep and a male-voiced choir brandishing an over-used condom.
Then we'll see who sounds like a whiny bitch.
I was only joking

99.9% of vehicles in that traffic jam just waited and then moved forward when it cleared btw. I know this because I'm totally guessing.

I’ve never been stuck in hot weather, just minus fvck 30 cold. Jackknifed truck trailers and squashed cars on a major highway. The RCMP brought in buses to keep us warm. There was coffee too. I wanted some, but when exiting my truck, I slipped on what could be described as a hockey rink & cracked my head bad. I came to quick & utterly denied hitting my head … I got back in my truck & hoped for the best. Lesson learned .. keep those boots with the cleats in my vehicle or better yet, wear them when travelling!

A rite of passage for Albertans and Saskatchewaners who venture out onto the highways between 1 November and 31 March.
I too have learned to keep a pair of ice cleats in the back seat of the crew cab.

You're not wrong. I lived in South Wales for a time. There was an Evangelical chapel just up the street. I'd sometimes walk past there on my way to the shops on a Sunday morning, and the sound coming out was unbelievable. In a good way, just magical.

Nope… With a heavily audible emphasis on the popping p sound…
The woman video and posts the video with one intention. Look at me! Pay attention to me and my problems! It’s CHAOS! So I’m giving her what she wants. Attention.
No, it’s a traffic stoppage. A severe one. I’m sure that it would have sucked balls to be on that road. In some areas the backup lasted 12 hours. From what I’ve read the CHP provided no guidance, and were making things worse by diverting traffic from 15 to 40, and had no resources on 40… Okay. If you’re not getting information from the authorities and have been there for several hours, that’s when you start trying to make the situation better.
Or you sit there and bitch.
