On an interesting note, on the way home, I got to the turnpike exit and there was no one in the booth to take my ticket and money. The gate was open and the light was green, so the guy in the booth next to it was just waving people through. So free turnpike ride! Woohoo! Stick it to the man!<\/p>\n
