​Suzi’s Cover Letter:

Hello, Road Warriors!

I really think you and I are meant to be. For realz. I’ve always wanted to be on TV. And since I didn’t get that metoritelogical job I went for earlier, traffic was always my second choice! Sometimes Plan B is better!

When I was a kid, I always used to do my own traffic reports while we were driving to see my relatives in Jersey. Every summer. Boring drive. But I used to say things like: “Watch for boulders that could fall on the turnpike and smash your sister’s side of the car,” or “There’s a potential for a landslide with all this rain. We’ll probably land on her side of the car.”

Plus, I know I look good on TV. I’ve been studying our local anchors for a long time.

I'm a wreck anyways—might as well make some money at it, right!?!

Orange Barrels Forever,
Suzi

P.S. I could booty shake on TV!
