In reply to the discussion: Am I the only one who just doesn't give a shit about the Super Bowl? [View all]calimary
(83,487 posts)388. Nope. Don't give a fig.
We were busy running errands. GREAT time to be on the road - nobody else was out! Freeways were open, major boulevards were empty, perpetually gridlocked intersections were flowing smoothly as could be. Totally uncrowded roads! But in residential neighborhoods near us you couldn't find a parking space along the curb to save your life. Must have been a lot of Super Bowl parties going on.
