For now, a rest pit



I gotta give it to PennDOT.

They really are trying to make these rest plaza's more sanitary, in the disease sense of the word.  Lots and lots-o-choices.

It used to be when you were on the turnpike, you got lousy cafeteria food topped with Jell-O Jewels.

Now, you have choices.

It's not like the New Jersey Turnpike Southbound, which is Chris Christie's "F-U" to travelers.

No, hear instead of state workers cooking up state prison grade chow and feeding it to you, you get state workers being paid by Corporations and serving you prison grade chow.

They do quite a traffic in Belvita, Peanut Butter and Cheese Crackers and Freshen Up (the gum that goes squirt!)  Although the double header Chinese Buffet serving pizza and taco's looks interesting.

Me?  I'm doing fine.  The worst part of the trip is Baltimore to the Allegheny Tunnel.  Then you coast into West Virginia and Ohio.   The Prius is getting 46.6 miles to the gallon.   That makes me feel superior to everyone else.

Maybe a post tomorrow.  Maybe not.  Most defiantly by Thursday.  If not, then look on Friday.
