I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE OR ANY THING SAYS AVOID THE GEORGE WASHINGTON
BRIDGE AT ALL COSTS-- BECAUSE AS BAD AS IT IS, ALL THAT SPAGETTI GOING THRU
WESTCHESTER AND CONN IS WORSE.
I HAVE NOT LOOKED AT MAPS LATELY BUT TAPPANZEE BRIDGE AND RT 84 AT
NEWBURGH ARE 1% OF THE NEW YORK BRIDGE.
2 CAMERa people CAME UP FROM PENNA-- AND SOMEONE OR SOME GPS TOLD THEM TO
GO 95 THRU NEW YORK....,. IT CERTAINLY IS THE MOST DIRECT... EXCEPT FOR A HUGE
ROCK IN THE WAY THAT IS CALLED MANHATTAN..
THEY WERE 4 HOURS OVER THEIR ETA.
P.S.. THAT BRIDGE AT RT 84 -- THERE IS A VERY NICE DINER ON THE
NEWBURGH SIDE ...
TO COMPLETE THE TRAFFIC NIGHTMARES
MAIRA WAS 3 HOURS OVER HER ETA BECAUSE OF A TRACTER TRAILER OVERTURNED ON
495--- AND IT DID NOT SPILL ANYTHING WORTH PICKING UP.. I MEAN IF IT HAD BEEN
FULL OF DOG FOOD SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT OUT THERE FILLING HER VAN...
AND JANINE TRIED TO GET INTO NYC FOR THE WEEKEND OF ROLLERBLADING ( BUNCH
OF NUTS-- 100's OF THEM ROLLERBLADE ONE CITY A M ONTH-- ) AND THE TRAFFIC WAS
SO BAD AROUND BOSTON SHE COULDN'T GET THERE FROM HERE SO TURNED AROUND AND CAME
BACK...
LESSON OF THE DAY?- DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

NOW TO TRY AND FIGURE THIS FOOL EMAIL THING OUT AGAIN---
MARIA MADE THE ASSUMPTION THT HAVING DONE IT ONCE, I COULD EASILY DO IT
AGAIN..

ONLY AFTER 100 TIMES WILL I BE ABLE TO SEND THE EMAIL WITHOUT HAVING TO
QUESTION THE LOGIC OF EVERY MNOVE
LETS SEE--- THAT MAKES IT ABOUT THANKSGIVING...
UNTIL THEN THE DD WILL BE A PAINFUL PROCESS..
ALTHO MY SOUND IS NOW WORKING AGAIN SO I WILL LISTEN TO THEIR DIRECTIONS--
WITH PEN IN HAND.
THAT SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY BETTER TNAN TRYING TO LIP READ WITH NO
AUDIO...

WHICH BRINGS TO MIND.... AGE CAN HAVE AN ADVANTAGE....
.WHEN I WS FIRST STARTING OUT WITH THIS SERVICE DOG BIT, I KNEW I HAD
PUBLIC ACCESS EITHER USING OR TRAINING... THAT WAS THE LIMIT OF MY
KNOWLEDGE.
IN A LOCAL MALL, ONE OF THOSE SECURITY TYPES WITH A GUN, TOLD ME I HAD TO
LEAVE- DOGS WERE NOT ALLOWED IN THE MALL-- SO I PLAYED THE OLD LADY WHO LEFT HER
HEARING AID HOME AND JUST COULD NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING-- SO I SAT DOWN--
SMILING.. I HAD 2 HOURS OF FUN WITH SECURITY AND VARIOUS MALL MANAGERS.. THERE
I SAT - SMILING WHILE THEY TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WOULD SCARE ME INTO
MOVING...
.. NOTHING... I WAS READY TO PLEASENTLY DISRUPT ANOTHER POLICE STATION
IF THEY HAULED ME OFF... THEY EVENTUALYY GAVE UP...
*****************
IN TRYNG TO LOCATE SOME OLD PHOTO'S FOR THIS BOOK, I CAME UP WITH THE
PLAYBILL FOR THE NORTH SHOR MUSIC THEATER WHEN TIFFANY WAS IN CAMELOT...
TIFFANY WAS A SUPER DOG-- FIRST DANE I EVER ACTUALLY PURCHASED... SHE HAD
A PART WHERE SHE WALKED ON STAGE WITH ED HERLIHEY. BIG ROLE....
WHEN THEY ASKED TO RENT HER--- I DEVISED A METHOD OF SIGN UP-- ALL MY
FRIENDS SIGNED UP FOR 2 TICKETS TO CAMELOT-- THE HITCH WAS YOU HAD TO GO 1/2 HR
EARLY AND HIDE IN THE GREEN ROOM SO THE AUDIENCE WOULD NOT SEE THE DOG AHEAD OF
TIME... .. WE HAD A SP[ECIAL PARKING PLACE AND ALOT OF FUN MEETING THE
PERFORMERS INTHE GREEN ROOM..
THE AUDIENCE GASPED EVERY PERFORMANCE WHEN SHE WALKED ON STAGE.. SHE WAS A
PRO !! 2 WEEKS IN 1991.
**************
I WILL NOW ATTEMPT TO SEND THIS THING WITH THE CONSTANT CONNECTION PRGRAM
WHICH APPARENTLY GETS AROUND THE AOL DECIDING I AM SPAM.
