Today, 4:45 PM EST: New Jersey Turnpike moving just fine. Huh?
Was I transported to a parallel universe? Normally
NJTP, especially on Friday SUCKS!!!! It was speed
limit from GWB to Bordentown. Hell even GWB had only
minor delays!

:wow:

:wtf:

Who am I and which dimension am I in?

1. Clarification: GWB is George Washington Bridge
NOT the Chimpster. For DUers not familiar with
the NYC-NJ area.

4. Wow. Sometimes I'm glad I live in flyover country
I get pissed off after 15 minutes in traffic. Which is why I live 10 minutes from work, I suppose.

6. No way I could live here
Damn nice people(despite stereotypes), good food, history, etc.

But I'm a Southerner. It's a nice place to visit, or deliver
freight. But my next load is to Alabama. Redder than hell, but
it's home-and we're gonna change the red thing!

9. That doesn't sound half bad, actually
I'm a native midwesterner, but I have a soft spot for the south. Great people, great hospitality, and great food too! :toast:

8. Something's VERY wrong. I've made that drive probably 200 times over the last
25 years, and have NEVER seen it like that.

Well, once or twice at 3 AM, maybe...

11. Hey, when you get home to Bama, have some BBQ for me, would you?
It's been too damn long since I've been down South. Some fairly good Q here if you look hard, but not like the real thing.

(And give me ANY type of the real thing, and I'm happy. Carolina vinegar or mustard sauce, Memphis or KC tomato sauce, Texas Naked Brisket on white bread, it's all of it as good as any.)
