Reply To: Driving With Popa

Ok. Nobody prompted me, so I’ll make my joke anyway.

Why didn’t I mention that you can avoid much of the NJ turnpike by taking 295? Because then you would ask why I didn’t mention that you can avoid the Susquehanna River bridge by getting off, driving a few miles down, and crossing a different bridge that you pay $10 per year for unlimited crossing.

And why didn’t I want to mention that? Because only people from Baltimore drive the route often enough that they should pay 10 for unlimited (which is obviously only worth it if you know you will cross it 3 times, and the toll is one way only). And I have never met anyone from Baltimore who is intelligent enough to be able to follow the directions and do any of these tricks.

Squeak: They can’t really stop us, except by putting a toll on the other roads in the area, since you could avoid the entire 11.2 miles.
