Construction Fail
Category: traffic
Yea I guess the full moon may have played a role in this clusterfuck today

What I am going to take some heat for is that I wish that the region DID build the highways that they proposed back in the early 1970's Yea I know that I may be in the minority as we always hear that the highways in this area are evil, blah blah blah. But pesonally I wish they did stick to the master plan laid out here:

We wouldn't have to worry about fixing stupid rusted out bridges every few years and paying $1 to cross them every time if they just would have built the surface loops that they had originally proposed. It would have all been perfectly placed right about now as that is where everything ended up pushing out anyway in the direction of Clarance, Lancaster. Would we have a clogged traffic jam every day on NF Blvd or Transit Rd?

That little highway spur through Tonawanda/North Tonawanda would be handy right about now! But that's Ok as it it seems everyone is content wasting 45 minutes of their lives traveling 6.5 miles on Niagara Falls Blvd.
It's scary as someone knew back then that the only thing that will keep the economy going is building new houses further and further out from city core decorated with shitty retail strip malls with no parking spaces.

From looking at the architecture features of Buffalo's houses, it seems like every house that was built in this city was built in a layer of sprawl that moved further out. It's onion-layer after onion-layer of burbs.

So this may answer a few Q's
Category: love & relationships

I found this gem and just had to share:



6. Talk to her (I am a bit socially anxious and don't make the first move) CHECK

5. Acting Interested (I'm in my own little world on my phone) CHECK

4. Dancing (Well I do this pretty well so) Negative

3. Complimenting her Looks (You did something to your hair & it's different?) CHECK

2. Being Nice (I guess I'm kind of a Nice Guy) Negative

1. Having the wrong name (According to a study of 6,000 people, men named Michael, James and David are the clear winners, with all three placing in the top ten for Most Successful, Luckiest, and yes, Most Attractive names.) CHECK ;-)

So 4/6 is not bad at all. I guess if I don't dance and be more of a Dick I'll find happiness...

Well but the dicks get the girls so....... That was an interesting read thanks

Michael, James, David? Oh well. I guess the Tom, Dick and Harrys don't stand a chance then, huh?

No I didn't actually, I thought it would have all been posted in about 2 maybe 3 weeks. I guess in looking back my life back home here was kind was dull and blah, so mentally it was nice to pretend that I was living down there through the pics I took!
metalpeter - 03/16/10 17:48
One odd question. Before or during your trip did you think that you would still be posting pictures now? It does take some time to post them plus with multiple sites that ads time also......

It's a mystery grab bag of books.

Those clams look so food. What was in those surprise bags.
