The Master

Today was a bad day. A hawk killed my pet rooster this afternoon. RIP Reny.

He holds storm cabinent meetings and personally manidated for highly aggresive snow treating of roadways. Murphy himself stated he wecomes NJ "being the brining state of America," to his critics and sees nothing wrong with being overprepared and has promised to them that he will continue to have the state overprepare as that is how he will have things from now on. Phil spent 38 milion on snow removal last winter, despite only having a 10 million budget and last winter being fairly mild with few snow events. So yeah, he has pushed NJDOT to go insanely overboard in an attempt to make himself look good. Excess road salt has many long term consequences, all of them really bad which is why it must be used sparingly. Not dump a million tons for a fes furries that melted on the warm ground anyway. Last year, after being caught off guard by an unusually early snowstorm up in North NJ in Nov. NJDOT, under pressure from Murphy, salted roads for every little storm last winter, even for all rain storms with temps remaining above freezing. Very wasteful and reckless kneejerk reaction. Since you live in FL now, you missed all that fun in NJ last year. I dislike both parties so I am not try to push politics, I just don't like anybody damaging any of my cars, including the government.

Drove on 295 today and I see Phil Murphy is already overracting to winter weather and overusing road salt.

It does seem operations at the parks in Pennsy have gone downhill. Very disappointed that Hershey had so many rides closed this year. Through my last two visits to GADV, they have been running El Toro pretty poorly. I was there Sunday and El Toro, Runaway Mine Train, and Kingda Ka were only operating single trains. Perhaps it was because those three were nearing the end of their operating season? Then again, Bizzaro was running two trains and that closes down at the same time too. Of those four I wanted to ride again before the North end of the park is closed for HITP, I only made it on Bizarro as the other three had long slow moving lines due to single train operations.

On the news, we hit record cold lows and highs for this date, really unusually weather today.

Really bad weather this week, early Arctic cold blasts, early snow, record breaking cold, looks like Winter is already off on a strong start.

Disney is really becoming a joke anymore. Perhaps just another sign we are living in clown world.

Years ago in the old Hayride into the Unknown, they used to have the Jersey Devil attack the hayride wagon. I mss those hayrides.

The Superhero Christmas decorations look like 4 of July decorations.

While last Oct was the 10th Oct in a row that was above normal temps, it looks like Nov will below normal. Some of the days in the upcoming cold snap will be below normal.

Star Wars GE is under performing pretty bad, so we probably better expect even more cutbacks. Still sucks big time. Plus a SBNO ride looks really tacky.

I just got back from FF at GADV tonight, (10/30/19).,While the crowds were light, the park patrons were much rougher than normal for GADV. Hallowern events just bring in rowdy people.

The clientele are likely nicer on a non Haunt Sunday. Sadly Halloween events do seem to attract bad elements.
