THE CONSTRUCTION GODS

Why is it that all road construction must take place at once? Every road I take to work has construction being done on it, and not just small road work, major work. On 2 of the roads the Gods decided to tear down 2 overpasses, one over rt 73 on Haddonfield rd. and the other over the Amtrak tracks on Maple ave in Pennsauken. The very intelligent people in charge decided to do all of this in the same week. I am not even going to talk about the rt. 130 mess in Cinnaminson, what a joke that is!!! People already can't drive all of this just makes it worse.
This leads me into my next point about bad drivers which I think my sister might be one of them. Here is a list of things the drivers can work on.

1) If you're in the left lane, AT LEAST DO THE SPEED LIMIT!!!

2) Women, stop putting on your makeup as you drive, you already have enough trouble with 2 hands on the wheel.

3) Don't wait until the last second to go from the left lane to the right to get off an exit!!! (residents of the Boro are famous for that.)

4) Speeding up and slowing down

5) Red light runners

6) People that come to a complete stop to make a turn.

I know what would solve these problems, being able to shoot 5 bad drivers a year. If they are driving bad shoot them, but you only get 5 so choose wisely.

I'm tired, so see ya

Hi Keith and Donna,

We're glad your doing a blog. It's a great way to keep in touch and also lets us keep up with your lives.

Loved the blog for today. Everything you said is so true and even applies to Maine drivers.

Donna, you look wonderful! We saw pictures of you that Bob sent. It won't be long now! I can't wait to meet the baby.

Keep up the blogging. We love you both!

Aunt Lynne MIGHT be one of those drivers you speak of . . .but no one has ever seen nor heard of her actually driving . . .haha

There's a joke about Maine: We have two seasons . . .winter and construction . . . .there is going to be a lot of that this year, with pot holes and all

Luckily, women in Maine dont wear makeup, so we dont have the problem of them putting it on as they drive . . .

Hey, let's not just talk about the women, how about the men picking the hairs out of their nose while driving and correct me if I am wrong but I think I rode with someone last year that was driving 100 miles/hr while they were texting!!!!! Remember that? Ya, I have to agree about your sister

Little bro, why do you say I'm a bad driver? First of all I don't do any of those things on your list of bad drivers and secondly I like to drive FAST!

Could it be because of my past record and all those accidents I had back in high school!

Remember I can smoke a cigarette and talk on the cell phone all at the same time while driving. That should make you feel safe! :)

Hi guys!

Donna - you're looking great! I can't wait to meet your little person!

I agree about drivers. One HUGE peeve that I have is with the truckers that drive SO slowly on the residential roads, and then practically ram you off the highway because you're not going fast enough. I'm surprised that Jared didn't mention this. His platform, if he ever ran for president, would include the following two things:

1. All women would be required to wear thongs
2. Trucks would not be allowed on the roads between the hours of 7 am and 11 pm.

Right, Jared?

Steve Cee would love Jareds first law of "All women must wear thongs"

Thats right up his alley

Hey panda does Jared know they sell thongs for pregnant women in Motherhood? Don't worry I wont tell him b/c if I did we probably know what you would be getting for your birthday! :)

while I do agree with you about bad drivers you should beware what you wish for. I've seen you drive!

I hate it when they come to a complete stop to make a turn!!! usually the people who do that are the people who have had their blinker on for a mile and half before they actually do turn.....
