Yes! The last time I went to the east coast of Florida, there were more
northern accents than southern!


Since when is Cuban a "northern" accent?

"Cuban"? Most Cubans speak Spanish. Many Cubans also speak English and
other languages. I'll have to ask my Cuban friends if they speak "Cuban."

You have to be way south to hear that!

That's absurd.

That's exactly how I described Honolulu. Only instead of NYC, I said
"St. Louis"....

I'd agree. Honolulu is also a crime riddled hole.

I often took the "long" route via Rt. 84/86. Much longer, but nicer and
more scenic.

Best trip was by boat!


==========

We went offshore yesterday from Beaufort/Morehead City south to
Masonboro Inlet/Wrightsville Beach. There were a few bumps in that
road also but not too bad. Nice sunny day for a change.

...why we are becoming a second-rate nation.

Crumbling infrastructure. Took a road trip on I-95 north and was
appalled at the miserable condition of the main north-south interstate
on the east coast, the bridges and the fact that in most places, it
still is only two lanes on each side. Massive traffic jams, bridges that
look as if they are ready to fail, crumbing surfaces. And our railroads
are in even worse shape.

Meanwhile, countries that take their economies seriously are building
and fixing infrastructure like there's no tomorrow.

------------------------------------------------------

That section of I-95 has been in a state of perpetual repair for as long as
I can remember.
When we used to drive south for the winters one of the worst parts of the
trip was from just north
of the New Haven area down through southern Connecticut and, of course,
through New York.
One of the problems is the amount of daily traffic in that area. The roads
are worn out faster
than they can be repaired. In fact, as I remember, the roads really didn't
get a lot better and
driving a little more relaxing until we got well into Virginia and points
south.

84/86 is a nice way to go. There's lots of factors that cause road
deterioration, like subgrade conditions, freeze/thaw cycles, etc.

No, unions don't dictate what materials to use. AASHTO does.
