Oh no. People vacationing this weekend and spending money. Blame Obama!
The cops are starting early too. Work in Easton every day. Heading on Route 50 between Cambridge and Salisbury, I know I saw at least 6 cops. They may have also been patrolling to remind people to slow down because the school buses are back on the roads. Notice a lot more in the morning while heading in as well.
