The maze of freeways, we call that, interstate 80, 24, even highway 13 will be of no help. That is a big issue. Heading to where pete suratos is, ill give you alternates. Pete, what happened there and why did it happen . Reporter good morning to you. Well get into what caused this. The traffic back up, we are used to seeing it on the brid

You know, its b its best when you talk about veterans, to talk about them of the people they were, the people they are, whether they are alive or passed on.
