Coronalie-23 What Do KDOT, ODOT and TDOT Have in Common?

On November 25 I drove across 3 states to violate all the expert’s warnings and see my family. Perhaps for the last time. On the trip, I noticed that all of the Department of Transportation texting devices had messages to we weary travelers that had a Thanksgiving theme.

Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. So these DOT texting devices were not state controlled enterprises. Must be National. Federal.

But for weeks, all the politicians, all the experts, and all the media have been hammering us to cancel Thanksgiving. Because of coronavirus and it’s new upsurgance (I know it wasn’t a word, but it is now).

In one respect, this is reassuring. It means that somewhere, someone knew that we were going to ignore their advice.
