To futher pound the point home and put it to bed.

http://www.creeperscobra.com/ny.jpg    routed through business
district when it should have continued straight.

http://www.creeperscobra.com/nj.jpg     routed on DIFFERENT road
through business district. When it should have continued straight on
SAME ROAD.

routing.

Routes are those previously posted. I spend too much time on this
