Subject: RE: BS: Detour to the center of the earth
I feel your pain
My bandmates and I just got back to the DC area after a weekend gigue at the Sterling Renaissance Fair in upper New York State.
About 5 extra hours were spent in detours.
I should like to suggest to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that their license plate slogan ("The Keystone State"), and their tourism promotional catch phrase ("You Have A Friend In Pennsylvania") do not accurately capture the subtlities of our sojourning experience. I have a few humble alternative proposals:

Pennsylvania- The Stumbling Block State
You Have A Construction Delay In Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania- Barrier To The North
Historic Pennsylvania- Where Time Slows Down
Pennsylvania- "The Construction Never Ends!"
Pennsylvania- The "Our Roads Are Slightly Better Than An Albanian Goat Trail" State
Pennsylvania- "Highway To Hell"
