i just got back from piermont...or rather, 9w and a bunch of side roads. anyway, 9W sucks during the weekday! maybe i hit morning rush hour but it was a steady stream of cars whizzing by the whole way. even on the shoulder, it felt sketchy. apparently quite a few people drive half in the lane and half over the shoulder! what's up with that? do they have to take every inch of pavement?

anyway, weekends are so much nicer. i may be able to head up on sunday too. depends on how saturday night goes (it's my birthday so i'll probably be out late).
