Stuck on the bridge? Welcome to Rockland

Yesterday, my boss (the head of the Editorial Board and community conversations editor, Herb Pinder) came over to Rockland for a meeting. He saw the opportunity to meet more Rocklanders, so he took it. Always great for Rockland.
Except, of course, the meeting ended before noon, and he was headed back across the bridge. Yes, it happened. I received a voicemail from him (turned off the cell for the meeting, forgot to turn it back on) that said: I’m stuck on your bridge. OK, that’s not a direct quote. There were other words, too. But you get the jist.
First, my bridge? Huh. Second, who here is surprised? The busier the morning, the more likely something like yesterday’s debris spill (story here) will occur, it seems.
I really like when edit board members come to Rockland so I can show off the county. With the work on the redecking project starting up again (we write about it here) though, maybe we’ll wait a while. The Thruway Authority’s plan to add asphalt ramps to transition the ride over two-and-a-half-inch metal plates needs a fighting chance to work. Recall the traffic headaches in spring and summer when one-and-a-half-inch plates were used. The Thurway Authority doesn’t need any added bad karma.
And yes, I called back Herb and left this message: “Welcome to Rockland!”
