A SIMPLE PLAN


and a simple commute.

Here's a suggestion for all the people who've been whining and moaning and complaining the past few weeks about rock slides and construction on Route 28 and accidents and construction on the Parkway East and accidents and tunnel troubles on the Parkway West:

Live in the fucking city.

You'll have to dodge some busses and a few public works projects every now and then, but you won't be sitting in traffic for an hour or two (or more) every weekday, you won't be offsetting those precious property-tax savings in gas and mileage and wear-and-tear on your car, and you won't be (literally or figuratively) driving yourself crazy with thoughts of your lovely house and even lovelier family rotting away out there in the suburbs or the exurbs or the blah-de-blah-burbs, still waiting for you to get home.

If you don't want to do that, great. Your choice. But then I suggest you shut up and suck it up -- even if John Shumway sticks a microphone through your driver's side window -- the next time boulders or ceiling tiles or some of those damned orange PENNDot cones stand between you and the rest of your restless life.
