    VT game day experience as reported by VT podcasts

    Exactly. There was one 4th down when the operator decided to play the train horn no less than five (5) times in a row. I found myself more concerned about counting the number of consecutive blasts, then making noise to support our team which would have been drowned out anyways. The level of...

    Mister DJ!!

    As someone who sat in the north end zone for the duration of the VTech game, I'm at the point where the stadium horn operator needs to be tied to the crossing arms at a busy freight train grade crossing, so that they can listen to three long and one short horn blasts up-close all that they want...

    OT: EWR Terminal A

    I used to enjoy flying Jetblue; their planes were upgraded and fares competitive compared with United and Delta. However, I had booked four nonstop domestic flights through them in winter/spring 2022, and for all four itineraries my flying partners and I received e-mails a month to 6 weeks out...

    Bag Policy/water

    I actually remember exactly when they changed the policy. It was the 2016 season, right after the terrorist hid bombs in Seaside Heights, Manhattan, and Elizabeth? train station garbage bins. If my memory serves, water bottles were banned immediately thereafter, and by the 2017 season that...

    How Hard is it to Pick up Arriving Passengers at Newark Airport?

    Wrong quote. Sorry about that. Here is the yo-yo I meant to respond to.

    How Hard is it to Pick up Arriving Passengers at Newark Airport?

    Go pound sand, and feel free to stop in the middle of the highway after the toll plaza to tell all the idling drivers safely within the shoulder how you really feel. Would people prefer that we park curbside at the terminal and sit there until my passengers navigate out of the airport, waiting...

    OT: Question on NJ motor vehicle inspection

    I'm not entirely opposed to your first point regarding older vehicle inspections for basic safety and engineering, especially lifted trucks and cars with Maxwell coffee cans masquerading as exhaust systems. However, if implementing your system results in the eradication of manual-transmission...

    OT: Potential Significant to Major Winter Storm Saturday, 1/29/22 (but high uncertainty)

    Looks like at least 10-11" so far in Middletown/Belford, and supposed to keep coming down strong until at least 1 p.m. Will take a measurement when I make my way outside to shovel around then.

    RU Indoor Athletics now has a VAX mandate

    Again, this is no longer true with the omicron variant spread. Refer to my previous post in this thread for a prime example, which is repeating itself all over the tri-state area and nationwide. Continuing to make the bolded statement is now akin to spreading misinformation, and may possibly...

    RU Indoor Athletics now has a VAX mandate

    This is not necessarily true anymore, especially with the omicron variant. Even being vaccinated/boosted, I caught a symptomatic case of COVID from an office outbreak two weeks ago. A total of seven people, all at least fully vaccinated, tested positive, most with symptomatic infections. And as...

    OT: Murphy to order all New Jerseyans to Wear masks outdoors (when social distancing isn’t possible)

    Funny that you evoke one of my favorite takeaways from the U.S. constitutions. Because generally, I do agree with the notion that one's right to throw a punch ends where another's nose begins. However, there are several problems with your post in this particular case: 1. The order in question...

    OT: Murphy to order all New Jerseyans to Wear masks outdoors (when social distancing isn’t possible)

    I don't think that requiring masks in indoor public spaces as well as outdoors when not social distancing is, practically speaking, a horrible infringement on the public. Threatening up to $1,000 fines or six months in jail for non-compliance of a requirement implemented via executive order does...

    OT: Murphy to order all New Jerseyans to Wear masks outdoors (when social distancing isn’t possible)

    LOL. The governors of both NY and NJ, as well as NYC mayor DeBlowsio, openly prohibited anti-lockdown protests as well as in-person religious gatherings during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in the tri-state area. The stated reason was that during an emergency, even constitutional...

    OT: Outdoor dining

    In Avalon we went to Diving Horse, which has a fantastic outdoor atmosphere and seafood including shrimp cocktail & tuna tartare. Yesterday we grabbed crab cakes/old bay fries to go from Back Bay Seafood and walked around Stone Harbor's main street, which did not disappoint. We also had an...

    OT: Outdoor dining

    We sat down for an outdoor dinner in Avalon yesterday. Tables were spaced 6' apart. We came in and sat down with masks, then wore them only to speak with the waiters and go to the bathrooms inside. We were apparently the only ones with masks besides the staff. Guessing that the other diners were...

    OT: Anyone hearing when NYC and NJ office buildings will reopen?

    Huh? Non-essential employees are still prohibited from reporting to work in NYC, per governor Cuomo's "New York Pause" executive order, as well as the phased reopening for which the NYC region still fails to qualify. Sure, buildings remain open for essential maintenance staff and offices can be...

    Optimism growing rapidly for college football season

    I, for one, would be happy to enter the stadium wearing a heavier mask come September. It's just another hiding spot for snacks, like the cargo shorts have been for food/drink, in violation of "Homeland Security guidelines".

    OT: Interstate travel issues? Friend going to VA.

    Yes, their use is illegal in VA and DC. But police there would have be using more sophisticated R.D.D.'s to detect my V-One, if plugged in and in use of course. I'll take my chances.

    OT: Interstate travel issues? Friend going to VA.

    I've found that combining the crowd-sourced 'police' notification in Waze's navigation app with my V-One radar detector provides a great deterrent for speeding tickets on roadways with artificially low posted speed limits. It also doesn't hurt to have a knack for seeing potential fuzz hiding...

    OT: Interstate travel issues? Friend going to VA.

    Neither Pennsylvania nor Virginia are stopping drivers with out-of-state plates on the highways. Rest areas with bathrooms are open in Virginia. At least on I-81 anyways..
