Um, Ian I hate to break it to you, but when you take 95 from NJ to PA, no
matter if you do it north at Trenton, or South near the Salem power plant,
you always cross water.  You may have heard of the Delaware River?  George
Washington crossed it on Christmas day during the Revolutionary War.  You
can come watch a reenactment of it if you'd like, they do it every year on
Christmas morning.

Trust me.  Every state has crappy drivers, and most of them don't know how
to use a turn signal.  The one thing that really bugged me when i got here
was how people don't like to merge onto the freeway.  Their first instinct
is to slam on the brakes and sit on the berm waiting for an invitation.
Pretty stupid, not to mention dangerous.
