Ithaca to Union

[atb9]

Going from Ithaca to Albany on Saturday, I found one of their hiding spots--luckily not with a ticket  There is a spot in the brush on the left just after mile marker 106.  The U-turn is at mile marker 105 so after you go past it, don't speed up.  This is before you hit the exit for Duanesburg.

I've got some info on radar detectors for you all.

You mean that they're illegal in Virginia? :-P

Hey, speaking of strange states to pass through on a hockey roadtrip, I don't suppose there's any chance we'll return the favor from last season and visit Huntsville?

Also in New York for vehicles with a gross weight above 7 (I think) tons.

another note on 88 troopers
I was lucky enough to get off at one of the exits that has a gas station right near the highway or else i would have been nabbed by the trooper sitting on top of the overpass near the entrance/exit ramps. beware!

Here is a picture of what causes the squalls:

Well at least it went right over Labrador in northern Cortland County, where I ski. Thanks for the picture, it's worth a thousand words, and might take up as much space.

Yeah, no kidding about the radio...

For those that don't know, I made the trip from Ct to Ithaca tonight, with a stop in Schenectady for the game...

On the way down I-88 afterwards I was listening to the only non-country/Jesus/punk rock station I could find - AM 590. They had this interview with this guy from California who had been fired from his job as a football coach / math teacher at a private high school. Why? Cuz in front of a supermarket a kid tried to sell him a candy bar to raise money for band uniforms, and he told the kid to "f*** off".

The funniest thing (after a while of listening to him) was that he was completely unrepentant and felt he had done absolutely nothing wrong. And that if these lousy kids were going to "guilt trip" him, then they deserved it and they should try to sell candy to him "straight up" "like a man" instead of giving him feel guilty by pouting and putting on something apparently called a "moo face".

It went on... he left his wife and 3 kids in Minnesota because they asked him to go to church, so he told them to "f*** it." He was incredibly proud that his new girlfriend in California works for a peep show, because apparently it shows that he's a real man if he can get a girl like that...

One caller was a lady with a French accent (French Canadian it turned out) and he said he didn't take any advice from French people since the French had "bent over for Hitler". This senior high school girl called up and he kept threatening to tell her to 'f' off, going as far as starting to make the "eeeeehhh..." sound (beginning of the pronounciation of 'ef') whenever she started talking. But the capping moment of it all was when he challenged the host to a staring contents (saying he can stare anyone down) even though it was a phone interview. The host kept saying he didn't know where to stare, which culminated in him asking the host if he had blinked, the host said "well yeah, I blinked" to which the interviewee responded "I win."

One of the saddest, unintentionally funniest things I've ever heard and will probably never be able to forget  ::help:: .
