There was on on the 50/28 headed out towards South Reading. They have it about every 3 months though (right on the boarder of Fairfax county and Louden county) so I would hardly call it a special like they were saying. I wasn't out much on the holiday, but from what I heard, it was all smoke and mirrors. God I hate VA. I need to move away!

I went from Riverside, MD (Exit 80) to Jessup, MD (Exit 38) on I-95 at 3:30 in the morning and saw nothing but drunks.

I was actually disappointed, I saw 0 checkpoints this past weekend. I knew of a few people who were driving drunk despite all the radio air time. I guess they'll have to start backing up all of their commercials.
