Sounds like by me but Chicago dumps a little more into the river.

if Flintstone were to be dumped into the river...would he make a splash...big enough to drain it out.........???
Probably just stink it up a little worse.

There’s enough “dirty” water that heads to the Mississippi and down to the ocean. I say re-reverse the river back to Chicago and tell road block that’s his state now.

Was at Fort Dix waiting for a slow boat to Germany. Did not care for New Jersey at all can't remember for sure think the base was close Newark not a very clean city.

oh you don't have to tell me about Jersey, and especially the stink, once i got off the GWB, and headed south, all the way down the NJTP...
the stink was so rancid, windows rolled up, air conditioner or heater shut off, air vents shut off, and that damned Jersey stink still got into the truck.

Would that be Elizabeth? What a stench from that area. My first wife was from Toms River and had to pass that area to get there.

My grip isn't as as severe or as important but I hate thief's. My daughter sends us a care package of food this time of year and it was one from Omaha Steaks. Well a notice came it would be a day late. Well it came the next and they dropped by the door and my camera notified me. I went out and the box was ripped and cut apart so I took pictures as the truck was trying to turn around and I hollered at the the driver to stop. I ask him if he understood parcel was perishable ? yeah he says then why didn't you knock on the door. He smirks and says not part of the job, I'm just supposed to drive and drop it off. I'm pissed and said you get $40 bucks a hour and your to lazy to know on door. Not every thing was in defrosted box so I contacted my daughter and we inventoried what I had left. The Salmon fillets were gone along with salmon fillets and filet mignon and all the hamburgers. My daughter has to talk with Omaha steaks as she made the order. She can be more caustic than me when she is pissed and she sent my pictures and she suggested they change carriers and go to FedEx. Omaha steaks said they would file a theft report and have there investigators track their route and transfer depots and file a complaint. They will be sending me a upgraded order. Seems they have had other thefts.with UPS. I know you can't reach in the trunk and grab the driver but I tried to coax him out to look at box with him standing next to it and I recommend interaction with driver and his remarks and smile. I am changing camera location so when the UPS truck comes around the corner my phone will give me the alert and I can be outside to meet and greet on future visits. $40 per hour and they steal from me.
I had to make a delivery to Sayreville , NJ one time during my short time as OTR trucker. I thought Chicago was dirty and nasty smelling but I found out there were worse places. I was never so glad to get out of an area as to leave that state.

laziness, entitlement, the high influx of illegals that bring their wanton ways, lack of morals, respect, and ethnics here, lack luster laws, judges, that "let them go" with many times, only a warning to the thief..."don't do that again you bad boy", and so on, and so forth.
this is why i LOVE tracking....and when i "see" on the map that i am maybe say the 4th in line for a delivery, i go outside to meet the delivery person, no matter the time of day (or night), yes i have had deliveries up to at least 10 PM..!!
i say, "bring back police "billy clubs", have the thieves "fall down the stairs", and end up in the hospital in a coma.
my late dad used to say..
"you wait and see, someday everyone is going to have a gun like back in the old western days"...
"well dad, you were right, the ccw crowd is growing every year"

Stealing you say? Not compared to the millions of taxpayer dollars stolen in this MN Somali fiasco, now bleeding over to OH. So many in on the scam and so many politicians looking the other way. I have no respect for citizens and non-citizens alike stealing from American citizens. Get them the hell out now including these lazy *** politicians!

Feel the same way. Recently Amazon, FedX, UPS & Postal Service send alerts and photos to my cell when deliveries are made.

It's starting to make brick-and-mortar stores more convenient.

certainly would, if they would actually have ALL that we want, when we want it, and actual sales people on the floor to have actual knowledge to help.
but rents/leases on store fronts, square footage, lead to more closures.
massive warehouses, robotic systems, inventory control ordering, are expensive, but get the job done faster.
