Drove down to Washington DC
to visit new born grandson. Weather was
poor. Ran into rain around White River
Junction and drove thru on and off rain showers the rest of the way. Spring is working on it. Trees around my place are still bare. By the time I got south to Brattleboro
they were all leafing. In DC they are in
full leaf.
NJ turnpike seems
to have misplace their toll booths. Got
off GW bridge, and onto the Jersey pike. No toll booth, could not get a ticket. Drove to the end of pike at Delaware Mem
bridge and paid full toll. Which is OK
since I had driven the pike from end to end, but beware if you are getting off early, say Philadelphia.
Coming thru Connecticut
I took the old road, Merritt Parkway. Conn
had done some work on it, fresh black asphalt, brightly painted lines, no potholes. New York,
not so much. Inside New
York, the Cross Bronx expressway was it's usual
shabby self. I notice that most of the
calls for "infrastructure" spending come from New Yorkers like Trump. Hoping the
feds will bail their roads out of decades of neglect. The other states keep their roads in fine
shape, what's wrong with New York?
Got on the infamous DC beltway by 3 PM. Traffic was heavy heavy. By 5 PM it was a lot lighter. I guess the civil servants all quit work by 3 PM. My tax money at work.
