[AsburyPark] Re: iraq or ap
I will never be subject to this imcompetence again. that's why soon to be old folks like me and you belong in Fl this time of year... Ok. The comparison to Iraq was out there... AP, like many other towns, STATE and COUNTY roads were and some still are screwed up. And I've been from AC up to Newark the past few days. The uturn ramps weren't cleaned up at all til this am or yesterday pm. 35 was and still is screwed up in some spots. The SP copter flew over a few times yesterday. I had to drive to newark the other night as someone gave me 4 tix to the devil game. Mass transit (my first choice) would of been $88 for 4 people round trip from Long Branch. Driving w/parking @ $15 was about $33. There's a whole issue there. So what happens? Almost everyone going to the Pru Center (first time there) drove. I couldn't get off 18 to get ot the parkway via hope road - so headed up 18 to the turnpike and it was a smooh ride -arrived about the same time the train would of. Just pissed I drove. Should it cost so much to use mass transit and keep cars off the road? No train/game package. Go figure. here's another problem, while no one was prepared (except deal)many residents aren't prepared either. 1. Have not one, but two snow shovels. Good chance one may break. 2. Jsut because you live in an apartment and park your in the street doesn't mean you don't need a snow shovel. 3. Most of us are really unprepared - as our own cars can't drive in snow (none in this deep snow). If you drive even in a bit of snow - have a shovel, gloves and a flashlight in your car. A couple pieces of carpet help as well. And if some asshole stops to help you, don't curse him out. In a city such as AP, maybe a good move would be to utilize the parking garage or other public lots as a staging area for homes with no driveways or multi family units that don't have sufficent parking - like many are lacking. Another move if you don't have a driveway - take the car off the street and move it up to the lawn as a temporary measure. And when you shovel, thy to throw the snow on your yard not the street. Easy to say I know. And don't forget - like Bloomy wondered - was it a general work slowdown - given all these budget cuts and layoff proposals. And for companies that made the employees come to work on a state declared emergency - nice. Telecommute if you can. Somehow we manage to do it with India. And finally, kiss a latino. They were they only ones out shoveling all our store parking lots all hours of the night. Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Re: iraq or ap
Ok, I have to say again. Yes, this is not Iraq, nor are we trapped in a mine or suffering after Hurricane Katrina BUT just because our situation is not a million other horrible situations that are obviously much worse is irrelevant. The issue is simple. There is no comparing it to any other disaster or other situation. We had a snow storm. We live in a state that gets snow storms periodically. We have a right to ask why our town cannot handle snow removal without thinking Well, I wonder why my street is a mess four days after a storm, but I shouldn't complain because at least I am not in a refugee camp in central Africa. I drove today. AP is MUCH worse than any place else I drove. I walked around with the dog a bit too and it was FREAKING INSANE. People walking like zombies down the center of streets that are still snow covered on day 4. Come on. Yes, this is not the black plague or a nuclear disaster, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't complain about why our town can't seem to remove snow. If we were hit by a giant tidal wave, I wouldn't ask the mayor why my street was a mess, but this is snow. And snow that was from a storm that was predicted DAYS in advance. Why was there no plan? Where were the plows? I have an idea. People at the Jersey shore think we don't get snow. So, when we do, it is a big shock. So, here is my advice. The next time the Weather channel says that we may get a big snow storm, get the powers that be together in a room and come up with an action plan before the first flake. And don't treat the residents of AP like they don't matter. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, cbrianwatk...@... wrote: Trust me, from my personal experience, AP under 10ft of snow, unplowed for 2wks, is a much better stay than The Sandbox Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -Original Message- From: oakdorf oakd...@...

It borders on criminal. I don't know who is to blame but the results are unacceptable. You and I in the private sector measure things that way. The results. Late to the game. Not only AP and other Shore towns, but NYC as well. Disgraceful and as I said, bordering on criminal. This is not Iraq. Yahoo!
