Yeah G, it's the new math where they round everything to make calculations simple - they rounded the number of inches in a foot to 10. I wonder how much they rounded the snowfall totals...

Jersey drivers are just trying to keep pace with NYC drivers .... I remember when I lived in Jersey and drove a truck into NYC daily ... I had a drop at one place and then had a drop at another place just 3 blocks back the other way, same street but I was on a one way that was going the wrong way ... I could see where I needed to go but had to go north to go west to go south to go east to go north and get there .. No big deal, same old same old ... Except on this day I think the King Tut exhibit was opening as was the movie Gandhi and who knows what else ... It took me 3 hours to go 2.5 blocks ... After sitting in one spot looking at the unloading area for what seemed like too freakin long, I lost it ... Mild mannered Gimnepiwo turned into a sidewalk trucker ... I was doing okay on the left sidewalk until I passed an Impala too close to the curb, hit the guys arm hanging out the window and ripped off his side view mirror ... HFS ! In a moment of clarity I stopped, saying " OMG, WTF have I done, have I lost my mind ? " I pulled the air breaks, parked it on the sidewalk and jumped from the truck making my way to the damaged Impala and driver who was standing on my previous roadway / sidewalk ... I started my apologies, he chuckled, threw his mirror in the back seat and jumped in to drive off because traffic started moving ... He never said a word ,,,
