Wow, the dewpoint is 37° here right now. Can't say I've seen them this low this time of year. :blink: Just 36 hours ago they were in the low-mid 70's.

I've been through tunnels all along the I-95 megaopolis in the NE and the Chesapeke Bay Bridge Tunnel system, and it was a nice experience as we don't have tunnels down here. :(
Be REAL happy you don't have tunnels. We have about 4 that connect hundreds of thousands of people each day. They back up sooooo bad. Its outrageous and the worst bottleneck of traffic in the area.

Yup, same here. The only way to get out of the city from the east is through the Squirrel Hill Tunnel on I-376, from the west you have the Ft. Pitt Tunnels on I-279/US-22/30, and from the south the Liberty Tubes on PA-51. You're talking about hours of traffic during rush hour...

No tunnels here... just TONS of bridges and overpasses.

NYC is a combo of the two. You have the Brooklyn Battery, Lincoln, Holland, and Queens- Midtown tunnels while there are countless bridges and overpasses in the area as well.

No real bridges or tunnels around here.  Longest span I went across was the Wabash River on US 52.

Same here. There's an old Pittsburgh saying, "You can't go anywhere without crossing a bridge or going through a tunnel." I assume that's why Pittsburgh is known as "the city of bridges."  :bleh:

Just Jailbroke my iPod Touch 2G, and now it displays the wrong time (several hours and minutes off), and I can't fix it in the settings, nor dos syncing with iTunes correct it. And it appears there's no fix for it. Crap.

Pretty much! Luckily, while I was sleeping, the error seemed to fix itself. Hm..very weird.

If you have cydia, search for an app that is called "fake carrier" and if you ever would like to get rid of the time on the toolbar, you can do so through that app.

but since it appears that it self fixed, I guess you don't need it. :P
