Cordell Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 The one time in years I have to go all the way over to the westside in the morning. I would just like to make a public apology to everyone I cut-off, sped past, and almost hit to get where i was going. I'm really sorry for the poor lady in the Suburban who I actually jumped the divider in front of, thanks for leaving me room. Wasn't even on 270, but 70 and Rome-Hilliard sucked.
