After a few days of being relegated to the bus-commute, I once again traveled the PIP en route to NYC. Awake (for once), camera in lap we approached the tolls for the GWB. I had previously seen a woman in an SUV applying makeup as we drove along, unencumbered by traffic. Seeing as how we (both the right
and left lane) were flying by at a nice, respectable clip (~60 mph), there was no opportunity to take a photograph. Reread that previous sentence, taking note of the fact that this woman was applying make-up while driving at or above the speed limit. Really.
Accepting that I wouldn't be able to take a clear picture of her, I sat back in my seat and awaited the plethora of idiocies awaiting me at the tolls. And I wasn't disappointed - lo and behold, another woman putting on her makeup! And, for once, I had fresh batteries! What a way to start the day!
Whereupon I came to the following realization:
Make-up-putter-on-ers seem to always be in the far right lane at the tolls (the cash only lane). I am always in the far left lane (the get out of my way I have no time for your bullshit lane). As such, there are always cars in between, obstructing my shot of the women in question.
Ah, the inhumanity of it all...
