In that place, even the speed trap was for out of towners. It seemed that the prosecutor knew every resident by name. If one came up in front of him, he would frequently only administer a stiff personal admonishment (because he knew that his policeman would not have issued the summons to the local unless it was a really bad violation) and send the chastened party home. But show him a NY or PA driver's license and you better get out your wallet because you would be sure to pay. There is much to like about NJ but you need to be prepared to pay big taxes to support all of the waste at the local level not to mention what is going on in Trenton. G'night box. |

Small towns down this way in Ocean/Burlington are crying to the state that they can't afford police protection if the state starts charging them for Trooper service. If a "town" can't afford to protect itself then guess what? Give up on being a town. Become a neighborhood in a bigger town that has the tax base to afford luxuries like cops.

Do transcon crews ever do an immediate turn (well, after a 1:40 layover) back to EWR?

I know that there will be a steady exodus of people from the state as the taxes keeping rising for the foreseeble future, and beyond. Every one has their limit! |

I must live in the freaky county that has a few big towns that are made up from a bunch of smaller ones. South Brunswick being Monmouth Jct, Deans, Dayton, Kingston (KP doesn't really count that's an ego trip name by George) one and the biggest by far is Woodbridge with at least 6 old towns including Wooobridge, Iselin, Colonia, and Fords.

I have to force myself to sleep. So odd not being able to sleep but only having about 3 hours in 3 days.....
When i get to that point I find myself having to just exhaust myself until i essentially pass out - happen to sit down or something and i'm out cold. That's what happened earlier today (or yesterday). |
Ok, that's new...
Looking at the cleared/standby upgrade list for my upcoming flight: "Booked: 17 (plus 1 blocked seat)" Never seen that before - is it common and i've simply not encountered it? |
