Day 1: College Park, MD to Binghamton, NY
I left College Park later than I wanted after grouting the bathroom floor (which will need more work since some of the mortar oozed up and is visible throught the grout). By 5:30pm I was stuck in Delaware traffic, and I decide to take I-95 through Philadelphia instead of going up I-295 and the Jersey turnpike. Philly traffic sucks too, so I decide to skirt the city and take I-476 up through Pennsylvania to New York. At this point Foxwoods is probably out for gambling since there’s miles and thousands of cars between me and it. But no sweat the Mohegan Tribe has opened a new gaming facility in PA, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, and it’s close to my current trajectory. The bad news is that it’s all slots-type games, even worse I lose $200 to video blackjack. I’ve always assumed those machines aren’t worth playing since I could code up a cheating video machine in my sleep. Now I know they’re not worth playing. After a couple of disappointing hours (mostly spent people watching and waiting for a free machine), I bailed and raced for New York to get the bad taste out of my mouth. Binghamton was a welcome sight, even if I stayed in a (blissfully cheap) former Howard Johnson’s turned Econolodge. I used the free Internet to warn friends in central NY that I was in the area, before crashing for the night.
Hi old friend,
Hope you are getting the time away that you need. BTW, I have been thinking about the immigration analogy you had posted a while ago. I was going to leave a comment but then I got a message saying it was closed to comments.
Ah well, my first reply to a blog and I’m foiled (laughing).
If you “open” it up again, I leave my “two cents”.
Hope you are having a good time.

Sorry Craig,
I had comments set to close after 15 days of inactivity. I’ve raised the threshold and now you can post.
BTW: I have a couple of kites here that I’ve been meaning to drop-off for the boys….
