My observation with constuction in NY has been:
Seven union guys in a circle around a shovel. Six are leaning on it, and one is willing to work but can't use the shovel.
I seen some constuction projects that are ongoing for several years, like the one on 287, (Tappan Zee Brige to CT). It's been going on at least fours years or longer. I'll have to ask my friend, when that will be finished, but I won't be holding my breath. Traffic is heavy on that route at 5 PM so it's a bear.
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait, I moved to Florida.
