Big Wind
 

57 MPH winds accurately clocked at the marina
this morning.

Once again tarps shred while the shrink wrapped boats
held up well. The shrink wrapped boats that had the
material taped to the gunwale started coming apart on a
few boats. Those boats like mine with shrink wrap down
to or close to the waterline came through unscathed.

I'll guess we had more than 65 on top of our hill. It was
scary.

I've heard the winds topped 70 MPH in some places.

The Merritt parkway was closed in Westport when a huge
tree fell across all four lanes. I wish I had my camera for
that one. Rarely there will be one lane blocked or even two.
I've never seen all four lanes blocked! Fortunately, they
cleared my side first. It happened close to an overpass so it
was impossible for cars to drive around it. I have to wonder
was it was like for the people who saw it fall.

Status: 5,000 homes were without power here in Connecticut
from the last storm, now it's up to 94,000, over 270,000 homes
without power in the six states between Pennsylvania to Rhode
Island.

That's a pretty incomplete history. No mention of the then
revolutionary "Clover Leaf intersections", or the overpass bridges
which were all designed by artists with no two the same. Those are
pretty major features to overlook.

Indeed you are an expert on Hwys Commodore. I'm glad you know
something.



Then there were the original signs which were made of wood and had
ceramic letters.

This is getting exciting! Why did I not think of that? wink wink


The letters had glass beads glued on them so they
would reflect in headlights at night. Rexcently, they have started to
use metal replica's of those old siogns, but they are pretty poor
representations for the old ones.

Yes they are, I been stealing the old ones for years and putting them
on e-bay.


The original entrance and exit ramps were finally replaced about 20
years ago. The originals were designed for cars that were only going
20 miles an hour.

It is amazing you know so much about the area Commodore, and nothing
about sailing.

It's been blowing like snot here all day, too. I have to keep
retrieving the door mat from the sidewalk.

Most of that is wrong. Further proof you are a sock
puppet. Folks, the interchanges were redesigned only
a few years ago.

I don't need to prove anything. People have met me
and know I'm real.

You on the other hand are a profound idiot and lame
sock puppet. Your posts prove rather than disprove
you are a puppet.

Loser!

All of it is correct. If you are going to make groundless accusations in a
feeble attempt to avoid your own embarrassment, I demand you prove
otherwise.

Puppet!

Puppet!

You're not real!

Amen!

People have met me and know I'm real. You DO need to prove your
allegations.
Otherwise, you are a liar. Those are your options, gayboy.

Loser!


So, you admit that you are a liar who makes stupid claims and can't back
them
up. Why am I not surprised?

Bart, forget him. You're giving him exactly what he
wants... attention. He's a loser... it's obvious.

I bet he just has to respond. Good news... I'm not even looking. :-)
