Home Again, Home Again.....

      BLOG FOR SUNDAY, JULY 27TH.

   Well our annual vacation to the Jersey shore, like
all good things, has come to an end.
    It's so much fun going there, It's so much fun
being there. It's so much....of a pain...coming back!
    We usually leave late at night. That's because
between there and here we've got Philadelphia.
     Philly, as you've probably heard, is "the city of
Brotherly Love." Apparently no one has told that
to the people driving through it. (Of course in all
fairness, most of the license plates I saw swerving
in front of me were an off white and bore the
initials N.J.)
      Leaving late gives us a fighting chance to avoid
about a thousand of the ten thousand cars speeding
through the city to get where ever they're going.
When there are that many cars in front, behind, and
to both sides of you even 45 miles per hour seems
very, very fast! Darkness and the glow of oncoming
lights add to the adventure!
      Of course the folks working on the northeast
extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike seem to
appreciate the late hour too! Their work lights
provide plenty of illumination for the crew and
another bank of bright beams to make you squint
as you try to negotiate between the workers and
the huge concrete barriers about 6 inches away
from your vehicle!
       Thank you Allentown! Never has a Rest Area
looked so good!
        I'm back now and it's quiet around here. In
fact it's so quiet that we didn't even have any
would be burglars to notice all the newspapers
we cancelled but were delivered anyway during
our absence!
        Hope you avoid the Schuylkill and
Turnpike and that all your NEWS is good!
