Can you imagine this clusterf*** on I-95????

It's called New Haven to New Rochelle

It's called New Haven to New Rochelle

I haven't driven in that part of CT in years. Doesn't surprise me though. I-95 is awful, I'd rather drive a more time consuming route that put up with the madness.

Driving through CT is literally the worst, regardless of where you're going and what direction.

 

[ODAAT]

anyone driven into/around Seattle? Was thinking about heading there once the MLB season starts to catch a game and get away with the bride.

If it`s a tremendous cluster, we`ll likely just walk on the ferry here in Victoria as I know it drops us right downtown

Boston to Manhattan can be done in 3 hours if everything breaks right - it can also take EIGHT

Connecticut in a passenger car the Wilbur Cross/Merritt Parkway is the best option - NO TRUCKS - I-84 is a disaster in Waterbury and Danbury and I-95 is just poorly designed with no way to fix it.

The New Jersey Turnpike, by comparison, was designed to be expanded if needed and usually it works well.

Don't start me on NJ Turnpike. It may be OK in a couple of places, the rest sucks. My son drove his last semester in college pretty much from Reading, PA to New Brunswick, NJ each Monday. It took him the same time to go through Turnpike, US-1 and RT-18 interchange as to get to there from PA.

I am comparing it to the Connecticut Turnpike

If you have to drive through NJ, the only way to go is the Garden State Parkway. So much better than the Jersey Turnpike.

I lived in NJ for about 15 years. Every highway there sucks, just to a different degree. GSP between I-280 and the Turnpike is a parking lot every rush hour and sucks throughout the day.

 

[Kovi]

People complain abut the roads here in AZ. I shake my head.
I would rather drive the I-10 here every day than 128 any day of the week.
When the volume in AZ is bad, it's bad.....but still not 128-is-a-parking-lot bad or a pothole-on-495-ate-my-car bad

If you are north, shoot down 287 to 24 to 87 and it spits you out like exit 140. I do agree however that every highway sucks here. There are no good routes lol

 

[Kovi]

So we are both working from home today. I hear Glove Malfunction on a call and the guy says....maybe you should run the call, Trevor.

Heh.
he's doing his thing.

It is and it isn't going to get any better given the financial pit we're in.

I used to work pretty much at the intersection of 287 and 24. Unfortunately, I'm now coming from Philly area... Ugh...

I met you at one of the Devils games I remember! We were sitting down by the glass., you were like row 2, aisle seat iirc and I was a few rows back.

And it was a complete failure because I relied on someone else to move my build into our Production environment (They don't allow consultants to do that). So of course it wasn't there. I went back and started a brand new ticket with my build to get it moved right this time.

I been rewatching GoT but stopped Monday night season 3 episode 9 with about 15 minutes to go because I know the Red Wedding will depress me before I head to Florida to watch the Bruins.

I’ll crank out the end of 3 and season 4 by April 1 and then power through seasons 5-7.

Arya Stark ever dies I’m going to lose it

I been reading Everett Mike - spectacular

Why Arya Stark Deserves to Win GAME OF THRONES - Nerdist

Why Jaime Lannister Deserves to Win GAME OF THRONES - Nerdist

I don’t know if Mike has ever considered a series or whatever but I think he would be kick ass

 

[Alicat]

I’ve had enough of the potholes on the Pike and on 128.

So many idiots swerving at the last minute to avoid them and almost taking me out in the process.

Hurry up and patch them MA DOT

When this show ends I will be in mourning.

You may not see me for a few days.

Good news, HBO wants to keep the cash flowing and has a bunch of spinoffs in development lol. I guess there’s going to be one based on the long night next. It’ll be hard to make anything as good as GoT though.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Every few weeks I have to remind myself that not everyone in the world is evil

 

[TD Charlie]

I binged thrones seasons 1-4 and caught up a few weeks deep in season 5. For all the hype i wasn’t really consumed by it. I really enjoy the show, but it hasn’t really had any emotional pull that a lot of people talk about. The whole red wedding thing didn’t bother me at all. If anything, the lion and the rose was the hardest to watch. At least i think that was the name of it.

Pretty hyped for the return. Expecting most major characters to eat it in the worst of ways.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

I haven't seen a single episode of GoT. I rarely watch TV except when I'm on the plane.
