TZ Bridge

Every morning, I cross the Tappan Zee Bridge to get to work. This morning it took me 1 hour and 35 minutes to go 14 miles. The picture above, snatched when I finally made it in, shows no backup. I think the traffice just huddled around me and slowed only me.

That's my home town in the distance: Nyack, Jewel of the Hudson. The Tappan Zee is the part of the Hudson River where it opens up to about 2-1/2 miles with Nyack on one side and Tarrytown (home of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow) on the other. In the 1920s, my Grandfather, Roy Hunt, drove his model T across the frozen Tappan Zee and had lunch in Tarrytown.
