delays

For the second time in under a week, inclement weather supposedly caused Rte. 22 to grind to a slow crawl making my commute over twice as long as the norm. I think that blaming inclement weather is about as accurate as saying "guns kill people" when, in actuallity my redneck friends, it's PEOPLE that kill people. Inclement weather doesn't cause traffic delays, PEOPLE do.

What's becoming more and more obvious to me is that a vast majority of these SUV's in the valley are 2-wheel-drive! For all of you cheap bastards that bought a gas-guzzling SUV with 2-wheel-drive, WTF were you thinking?!? You probably own a V-6 Camaro or Mustang too!

In regards to the gentleman in his Mercedes G-Wagon doing 20mph with no one near him on Rte. 22, for shame! That thing can climb Mt. Everest for God's sake, move your ass!

yeah here here, all you people with 2wd who dont have to be on the road (ie: the guy I saw going into the Whitehall Mall Parking Lot last night) stay off the damn road. Your pansy ass minivan wasnt made to tool around in snow and ice. And also, if you are afraid to drive in bad weather, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM GETTING IN THE CAR!

I love a good whining session, so I'll join in. My 40 minute commute has been stretched to 2 hours on multiple occasions over the past week. I hate* driving to begin with. *In this case, "hate" = "stink at." Keep in mind though that those crappy drivers with crappy cars probably don't want to be out there driving around anymore than you want them to be, but there aren't too many options since work doesn't offer many (if any) snow days. How 'bout some compassion rather than anger?

Hmmm, I haven't killed anyone yet ... not sure if I can show anymore than that, sorry :-)

now tom...just because you are a better driver than everyone on the road, it does not give you cause to mock them ;)

no snow here....life is good :)
