...and other ruminations on Delaware math. Ok, so this post really isn't about our VP, but I did want to share my thoughts on Delaware and their road system. We drove the Holiday Road from Boston to DC today, and in that entire stretch the largest tolls we paid were for the short dismal stretch through Delaware. Not only were the tolls astronomical, the roads in Delaware S*CK! And for that, I blame their long time Senator and our current VP, Joe "Stand up Chuck" Biden. I blame him mainly because, with the possible exception of the Dupont family, I don't know anyone else from Delaware.
One example that made Shirley and I chuckle. At the Delaware Water Gap Bridge over the Delaware River, entering Delaware, we approached a toll barrier with signs reading "Cars $3.00". Naturally, I assumed the toll for the Holiday Road would be more, but imagine my surprise when the toll collector stated it would be $16! I asked her how much the toll would have been for just the motorhome, without the Toad. She said it would be $8. Let's see, that's $8 for the RV, and $3 for the car. 8 + 3 = 16 in Biden World. Now I understand how the Stimulus package makes sense.

Please tell Stella that I am sorry about the big creamy head scare. When you get back, we need to open an ice cream parlor in Franklin. We could have the signature Stella's Clown head sundae. Can't wait till you guys get back. Talk to you soon!!
Stella forgives you. She sure is holding up well considering everything we are dragging her through. She's a trooper!
