The Aqua Slide was a big hit this year at Greenwich township’s National Night Out celebration. Outside temperatures being in the 80’s helped in its popularity.

The dunk tank also had a long line!

Not A Good Way To End Holiday Weekend

153-1

Two cars collided on Route 173 and the exit ramp of 78 west exit 3. One plate had New York and the other NJ. Air bags were deployed but there were no injuries. That alone is a testament to air bags and new safety features in cars today.

And the next time I’m having a bad day, I’m going to think of the tow truck operator who climbed underneath the two cars (center), in a the leaking fluids and heat of the day, to hook up the car on the left to the tow.
