<p>hudsonvalley - We’re in Eldersburg (Carroll County). So we still had another 30+ minutes to go pass Towson. I bet we took the same route home that you did. Our ride probably took 4 hours because we stopped for lunch and H got stuck on an urgent phone call while we were at Chick Fil-A. </p>
<p>The New Jersey route would not be typical for us. We simply went that way as an excuse to visit Grandma Friday night. We hadn’t seen her since Christmas. </p>
<p>Yes, I agree that the grass was probably the result of rainy days. I believe I said so in my report. Likewise, I agree that it’s better to cut costs there than in the classroom. </p>
<p>Thanks for your comments on the selectivity factor and your kind opinion of my objectivity.</p>
