I was in Jersey City/Manhattan this past weekend for a friend’s 25th wedding anniversary. My first drive there in 25 years... and my last. $32 to park for the day. $ 338 for a second-rate hotel. Ah, the driving in JC/NYC! $37.68 for breakfast for two at a greasy spoon. More Obama/Biden posters and stickers than I would have believed two months after the election. Everywhere. Mail boxes. Public buildings. Store fronts. People who had to be in NYC for their job but who hated it so much they walked down the street with snarls plastered on their faces, leaning forward, squinting, daring you to say something. 45 minutes to drive two miles. Ugh! May I never have to be there again; ever.
And I complain about the 10 minute delays I sometimes have to deal with if I leave work during our busy time of day!!
