Well, crapola

Landed EWR by 2155, luggage by 2215

Left P4 in my P2 2230

Arrived port Jeff 0045. Ugly drive. Nj turnpike was closed so fought my way to the Lincoln tunnel , up the Henry Hudson , over the GW and out on LI

No cruising, it was urban traffic the whole night.

Here’s my late night flight plan, ugly. Traffic at 2300 hours was still heavy.

This was a real idiot Route, btw. I should have taken the BROOKLYN bridge, or even better NjT South, then sailed over the Goethals and Verrazano Bridge. C’ est Le vie

Grabbed a few shots on that trip when traffic eased…blew by a Maserati, USN Intrepid, the bridges, $16 tolls…

Took Mom out to a favourite spot overlooking the Ocean off the 5. Used to take Dad here too

At 90 , she still drives a stick shift Golf on the freeway, as long as “ traffic isn’t too bad”
