Sunday morning I made the trip down to Kennedy Airport from Albany via the Taconic. I'm no stranger to the highway, originally built and opened to traffic circa 1930. It's a great ride: no busses or trucks are allowed on the road.The party I picked up at JFK wanted to take a quicker way home following a 23-hour flight. So they asked if I wouldn't mind going up the Thruway instead. Normally, I'd insist on the Taconic, but for some reason I just said "okay" - and we went up the superhighway.
Just about the time we would have been there - something happened on the Taconic. I learned about it later while watching the CBS evening news - yeah, the NETwork news - so I knew it must have been really bad...
