Non Driving Decision Makers

This entry is dedicated to the geniuses who contribute to the already difficult workday commute. The first group I’m thinking of is ABC Tree Removal. Why on earth would you decide to start trimming trees on an already busy stretch of road through Princeton at 8:30 AM?? Don’t you realize that it is still prime morning commute time?? Can’t you wait until after 9AM when the traffic dies down? Why?! Why before 9 must you block one lane of traffic?
At least that’s a one or two day occurrence. What’s with the new traffic circle at Alexander Rd in Princeton? Not only did the geniuses not help with the evening rush, but you made the typically free-flowing morning commute through this section a real pain in the ass. Why did you put that circle there? Was that really your only option?

Helpful Drivers

So a friend of mine asked if I was always going to rant about drivers. I thought about it and realized that it wouldn't be good karma to always be so negative. So I'm going to take this moment to thank those thoughtful drivers who warn other drivers of speed traps. A simple flash of the high beams can save someone time and money.
Keep up the good work, and "Damn the Man, save the empire".
