Thread Name: BS: Enduring the Holidays.
Subject: RE: BS: Enduring the Holidays.
I'm working. I spend Thanksgiving with family and let the guys with kids take Christmas off. As usual, I'll be involved with traffic direction and crowd control during the annual reenactment of Washington crossing the Delaware, which takes place every Xmas, even though it really happened on Xmas eve. Last year, it rained, sleeted and snowed and the State Police (God bless them) decided that the river level was up to high, which didn't bother the real Washington, but it was too unsafe to recreate. This year, there seems to be some friction between the Pennsylvania State Park system and the reenactors, so it may be cancelled again. Also, the river is near flood stage and it's supposed to rain heavily on Wed. If it's cancelled, I'll just patrol and hope that everyone is law abiding and drives carefully, and makes my day as boring as possible. And please, if you're driving along State Route 29 in New Jersey, don't do anything to make me pull you over. (Tailgating another car is the will guarantee getting pulled over by me). Because if I have to get out of my car in this weather, I'll have to write you a summons. I don't care if it's Xmas. Have a happy one. Steve
