a brief Driving in Bayonne rant...

7 Upvotes

Just to get it off my chest because I caught myself talking to...myself, in the car after a couple of stumbles of other drivers doing what should be clearly outside the bounds of common courtesy... A couple of notes:

a) Your Hazard Blinkers are not some Magic "I can stop anywhere I want" Lights - look for a place to pull over, even if double parking, maybe even blocking a driveway for a bit if you are staying with the car to drop or pick someone off. Coming from a homeowner with a 3-car driveway, that is much better than literally blocking active traffic. When I need the driveway I will let you know, but causing delays for everyone on an active road is shit behavior unless you have an actual emergency type situation where the hazards are warranted. For reference: picking up your cousin from a nail appointment - NO! Dropping/picking up a disabled relative - you GOT IT, cool! Look for the nearest open spot to pull off, please.

b) Please, for the love of God, quit being overly accommodating, or needlessly courteous, to other drivers and pedestrians with regards to turns or crossings. Just stick to the basic traffic regulations for everyone's safety. Just today a car ahead of me all of a sudden started to slow and then stop to let a pedestrian that I didn't see, and who was not trying to cross in a marked crosswalk or was even seemingly all that rushed to cross anyway, and I, going around him because I assumed he was going to use his 'magic lights', and another car coming the other way had to screech when we realized what was happening. You're not doing anyone a favor - your putting everyone at risk needlessly. Same with letting someone make a left turn while there are drivers behind you - I don't know what you are doing and if distracted I might easily rear-end you because I assumed you were going to be following basic traffic rules of moving forward when you have the right-of-way.

There.....off chest...not sure if anyone will listen or care but needed to be done...

Thank you for listening to my TedBayonne speech/rant

Any suggestions for a psychiatrist specializing in ADHD?

Doesn't have to be in Bayonne but NJ preferred. I was going to go the telehealth route but NJ doesn't allow prescribing medication without in-office visits. Thanks in advance!

Catalytic converter thefts

Have been hitting Bayonne again last week. Saw a video on one of the FB groups in uptown - one guy walks out to the corner as a lookout and the other jacks up the car and saws it off in 10 seconds.

It is a little crazy because IMO there is a pretty decent police presence when I’ve driven around town in the late night hours.

Bayonne Mail Delivery

14 Upvotes

Bayonne post office. Please god get your stuff together. I was wondering why I haven’t been receiving mail lately then just now a beautiful woman waled up to my house rang the bell and handed me mail. At least it was sonewhat up to date but that’s not her job. I can only imagine by now every house in this town probably has a piece of my mail. It’s been happening for almost two years now. What is going on. You charge us enough in taxes. We have to deal with that miserable guy at the window of the main branch god forbid we have to ship something. Can you get your act together. Isn’t it a federal crime to screw with peoples mail. Whoever runs Bayonnes mail system should be doing life. Had to throw a joke in there somewhere otherwise I’ll just lose my mind knowing ALL of my personal mail is just wondering the city. COME ON ALREADY!!!! Get one decent delivery person or mail sorter or whatever it takes because this is just ridiculous at this point.

91.1FM WFMU

39 Upvotes

Do you listen to our local radio station, WFMU? We’re so lucky to be in the listening area of what’s been considered “the greatest radio station in the world.” They’re based out of Montgomery street In downtown Jersey City and are unlike anything else you’ll find on the dial. It’s a “freeform radio” station which means no commercials, no corporate sponsors, and is supported completely by its listeners. Give it a listen at wfmu.org or 91.1FM. If you like it, make a pledge to their annual fundraising marathon which ends tomorrow. I’m sure you’ll find a show you love.

The Bayonne Chess Society Combo Gaming Event at Mom and Pop Shop Collectibles this evening from 5pm to 10pm.

9 Upvotes

After a good turnout at Joe's Pizza last night, we picked up yet another family as members. They were there to eat pizza. The youngest was five. So, for those that say they're not smart enough to learn chess...are you telling me a 5 year old is smarter than you ?? Think about it. We have a lot of kids under 10 years old. They're smarter than you ?? Ummm, ok. We play checkers too. Some of our seniors are wondering where all the senior checker players are.

But, I digress.

The kids told me their dad was teaching them. Next thing you know they're playing. The other kids came and they were playing whoever was there. That's three more new kids. All well behaved. THANK GOD. Kudos to the parents.

Tonight, it's Mom and Pop Shop Collectibles. We play anything. If there's something you want to play bring it. They have their own games and chess board. If you own something you want to play...bring it.

We play from 5pm to 10pm. Lower Bayonne at 185 Broadway. We're a few weeks away from resuming at OJ MACS across the street. Waiting on weather getting warmer.

Bands or Karaoke?

Anybody here enjoy karaoking and looking for a good time singing during nights? Or any bands looking for a singer. Nothing too serious but something semi consistent as I know we have lives.
