If someone in Roanoke is missing, it's probably because they are STILL driving home.
Maybe it's because I am used to big city driving, but the folks around here merge into traffic by slamming on the brakes. They signal left, then turn right. They drive in the turn lanes and then drive straight into the shoulders seemingly unaware their lane ended. They drive in the right most merging lane and act suprised as hell when people drive off the ramps.
Yes, indeed they are sleeping at a traffic light as we speak.
That was a North Carolina island that people disappeared from. I can assure you the city I am in, is completely land locked.
