A Dirty Ride to Work in the Hudson Valley
Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007I have to say, I am getting a little sick of the drive to work. Perhaps I should say that I am getting a little sick from the drive to work.
The minute I get on Interstate 84, I see the diesel smoke pouring out of the trucks on the highway. I try to change lanes, so it doesn’t come into my car, but I can smell it anyway. There are so many trucks on the road, it gets difficult at times.
When I hit the toll booth, things get really bad. Everyone is giving their cars so much damn gas, the whole place stinks. I couldn’t even imagine working in one of those toll booths. Poor people. They probably all have asthma.
I don’t know what to do. There really is only one way to work. I try to breath as shallow as I can, but I still get headaches from all the pollution. It truly is disgusting.
I am not sure why I decided to write about this. Maybe a trucker will read this and realize how disgusting they are making my life. Maybe they can use biodiesel.
