Martin, it's good to hear from you and Doktor X0r as well. So in opposite chronological order, lessee.
Re: traffic. OK so the main difference between traffic here on the interstates and the traffic in Atlanta on the interstates is that Down There, you'll have eight lanes of traffic that is at a dead stop, then rushes up to 50 mph for seventeen seconds then stomp on the brakes again for several minutes. Up Here, you'll have six lanes of traffic that creeps along at 20 mph steadily and then opens up to 45 mph for the remainder of yr drive. You also don't have to drive much of anywhere in the city or the near burbs because of the excellent trains in the city (the L), the CTA busses, the suburban Metra trains and Pace bus system.
Re: Holland. I'll be working as a product engineer for their HOTT division. I have no fucking clue what HOTT stands for but that division of the company makes componentry for freight railcars. Most of it is for load securement (and we all know I'm aces at securing a load IYKWIM) but it could be damn near anything to do with a freight railcar and what goes on it. I like trains.
The big money for Holland comes in from their rail welding and inspection services. Mark & Martin, y'all would appreciate the differences in the rail heat effected zone (and hence brinell hardness) with their welding process vs. thermite welding. But yeah that's not what imma be doin.
