No, it’s not an homage to Woodstock. In fact, it’s not even that part of the Thruway (it’s the Real America, I-90 part that runs east/west, not that godless part that runs north/south). It’s that damn Irene again. Back in 1987, a bridge over Schoharie Creek collapsed due to flooding, and, with severe flooding in Eastern NY, Thruway officials aren’t taking any chances this time around. So they’ve closed the Thruway from Syracuse to Albany. This is a major hassle for anybody who needs to go that way. Now that I’ve developed a Tea Party mentality, I don’t care. It’s not like I was going to Albany (as long as this doesn’t affect any UPS deliveries or anything). In fact, I consider highways to be socialism, and I think they ought to sell off the whole Interstate Highway system.
Madden NFL 12 comes out today. This is really big news. Not for me. Every now and I again I get it, but quickly realize there aren’t enough hours in the day for me to figure out how to play the goddamn thing. I guess I’m just stupid, and I’m lucky if I have time to watch a little “real” football these days.
Oh well, time to find the oil of oregano. Still feel like I’m coming down with something.
We went upstate today, as far as Goshen. I was struck by the little creeks that have become rushing rivers overflowing their banks. Apparently, as we were all being terrified of the hurricane winds, the threat was water. I would be very pleased if this was not repeated soon. If God wants to send messages, as Ms Bachmann says, he should do so in a clearer manner.
These guys are definitely going to hell.
I still say you gotta get north of PA before you can consider yourself “upstate.”
pj, your teacup mentality makes for too short a blog. I hope you evolve before too long.
Water is definitely an underrated issue in life.

Every time I use “upstate” to refer to counties north of me, I place a mental *PJ would not agree with this designation.
