Tell me if this makes sense...

Big Ed declared a state of emergency in Pennsylvania. No one on the roads except for "essential personnel" (hospital workers and such). But yet, SEPTA is trying to run all its bus routes. I know SEPTA is important and all for trying to get people around, but essential? At this point, the only place you should have to go is a hospital...so no, SEPTA is not essential today. So, on behalf of residents in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area, I want to thank SEPTA for completely fucking wasting our tax money by trying to operate today.

I might venture out later to clear the car off (for the fourth time) and start her up...maybe make some snow angels.

Another interesting note...all during the coverage, they keep mentioning the "Governor of Delaware"..."the Governor of Delaware issued a stern warning to those considering driving." Not once was her name mentioned, at least that I heard on NBC 10.

Her name is Ruth Ann Minner...she's been governor since 2000...just in case they all forgot.
