Mele. Good morning to you at home and you, as well. Into center city, philadelphia, we are seeing a little bit of light volume. That is the southbound side. But really its nothing out of the ordinary. So 95 is very average right now. Same thing on the pennsylvania turnpike. You can see the lines of green out there, no slowdowns to report. Drive times, still pretty average, about 22 minutes between ben salem and valley ford. And no accidents on the area bridges. They are all still clear at this hour.
