460 Days Ago From Today

Was the last time the Boston Red Sox appeared in the post-season.

I share this with the hope that the person in the silver Lexus with Massachusetts plates, who tried to cut me off last night on Route 287 in New Jersey, after being stuck in bumper-to-bumper, two MPH, traffic between Exit 17 and Exit 5 for three and a half hours - yes, three and a half hours - sees it.

Do you mean Interstate 287?

Mea culpa! Yes:

What on earth caused a 3.5 hour backup on I-287?

Emergency construction right after Exit 5 on the south-bound side. They closed two lanes. So, it went from three lanes to one. Backed it up from the construction site, around Exit 5, all the way to Exit 17.

I'm guessing the rain in the AM brought cause for the e-construction.

I guess writing about it here is better than letting it fester inside.

Actually, I just wanted an excuse to write about the 460 days and that driver just fell into my lap.

I hope he gave you a reach around after he fell on your lap. Sorry...I just couldn't resist.

Yep, glad I don't have to deal with that kind of commute.
