I-55 cones, chill air, and the art of leaving early

Left Springfield for a quick north run and spent half the trip staring at orange barrels like they owed me money. Cooler air helped. The merge did not.

Local tip that is not news but is true: if you’re aiming for anything with a hard start time past Chatham or toward Lincoln, budget the cones. Your calendar will thank you even if your blood pressure won’t.

Vent away — worst merge, best workaround, or just solidarity.
