On a rainy Sunday morning

I thought I’d take a look at the animation of a very large road project which affects my commute daily. NJ Dept of Transportation and other agencies are creating a huge interchange which involves I-295/I-76/NJ 42 and is like a 7 year project.

So I accessed the animation and of course I was subjected to an advertisement prior to the main event. This is what I got:

Except Lume doesn't have a unicorn, so Squatty Potty is better:

I knew there was something similar to the Squatty Potty scent stuff, but couldn't retrieve the brand name.

Thanks!

It's bad enough they are doing the Walt Whitman Bridge project at the moment.

LOL @ the ad.

And yes it is hilarious!

I'm glad they are finally fixing it.

We travel up 295 to visit family and friends in NJ. It is such a pain in the ass to have to get off 295, in order to get back on it. The roads are busy and the entire on-off procedure is hazardous.

Do it as part of good hygiene practice at bath time, which is presumably, also every day.

Remarkable that some people have to be told, but this is the downside of sheltering in place for a year.

Half the time, it's yet another repeat of one of the stupid Liberty Mutual commercials, the rest of the time it's some other crap I also have no intererest in. "Skip Ad" never comes up fast enough
