I haven't seen the Dallas population this nervous in awhile .. not since last winter when there was a prediction of two (2) inches of snow.
Traffic seemed lighter than usual when I dropped a friend at DFW this morning, although TXDOT's freeway message signs are flashing "AVOID TRAVEL TO HOUSTON AND BEAUMONT / TEXAS HURRICANE WARNING". The grocery store parking lots aren't full, although we should be getting some of the wind and rain by this time tomorrow, unless The Weather Gal changes her mind as to Hurricane Ike's projected path.
So far, I've learned two new TXDOT terms due to Ike: evaculane (road shoulders wide and smooth enough to be used as a travel lane during times of significant traffic congestion) and contraflow (opening all lanes for outbound traffic).
Unrelated deep thought: what do you call a person from Zimbabwe? A Zimbabwiccan?

The VW body parts never did give names to their cars, instead consistently using letters and numbers to designate the coupes, sedans
and the SUVs. With the VW body parts Q45 being the flagship sedan, the VW body parts found its place in the American market.The
