The convoy of MacStewart cars had stopped by the costco and picked up whatever wasnt being bought by someone else, which was surprisingly untouched so far. They had bought as much canned food and food in jars as possible. Lewis sat at the back with a jumbo jar of peaches in syrup on his lap. Bradley sat next to him with his mp3 player connected to the cars speakers, thumbing through the music list. 
They were waiting in the traffic moving slowly upstate, possibly to Canada. Stan was behind the wheel of the Range rover followed by Tom in a [url=https://media.ed.edmunds-media.com/bmw/7-series/2017/oem/2017_bmw_7-series_sedan_740e-xdrive-iperformance_fq_oem_5_1280.jpg]2017 BMW 7 Series[/url] and Sandy in a [url=http://media.ed.edmunds-media.com/jeep/renegade/2017/oem/2017_jeep_renegade_4dr-suv_trailhawk_fq_oem_4_815.jpg]Jeep Renegade[/url].

The progress was slow. Bradley hit the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljea2cmeCpo&list]music[/url] and the next track started. 
When they exited the freeway a few miles back some of the people decided they could not stand waiting in traffic. SUVs and off roaders had driven off the sides of the road into pastures and farm land to slowly get ahead. As they approached there was a man and woman by a Chevy impala that was stuck in the mud next to the backed up traffic a man was trying to dig out the sod between his front tires by hand, to no avail. A woman sat on the drivers side door looking unimpressed and worried. A kid of about 10 looked out from the back window.
"Right." Stan flicked on the indicator lights and merged out of the traffic. 
"Whats going on?" Said Bradley. "We're gonna help those people?"
"Yup." Stan said matter of factly.
A little while later Stan had manoeuvred the Rangerover in front of the car. They had found a tow rope and attached it. The grateful man and his family had reentered the car and were behind the wheel. Slowly the Rangerover tugged and the car half slid half drove up to the verge of the road again. 
Stan put on the sena bluetooth headset. "Stan to Tom. Any chance you could let us merge in front?"
Once they and the car were back on the road. Bradley said "Time for a news update" and switched on the car radio.

"Hello America! My name's Three Dawg! I'll be your post apocalyptic radio host, as the world goes to shit around you! I'll be offering advice, music, news and more every day until I can't broadcast no more, or this whole mess gets sorted out, whichever comes first!"

They listened in silence."That was fast to capitalise on a crisis" Bradley said.
"Hmeh, atleast its gonna keep people calmer." Said Lewis.
