Hello it's me

[lepidopteran]

Hi, my name is Mike, but I've been known on the MTR board for years as "Lepidopteran", and before that, "Grover".  I hail from the Baltimore/DC area, and am familiar with the highways from the Mid-Atlantic area to western Ohio, plus a few other locations.  It is good to be here.

One reason for my old screen name of Grover: as a small child in the early 1970s, I lived in NJ, and basically watched them expand the NJTP truck lanes from Exit 10 to Exit 9.  That stretch made me think of Sesame Street because of the service plazas named for Grover Cleveland and Molly Pitcher.  (At the time, Sesame Street had a short lived character named Molly, who was a Mail Lady)  Also, we took Exit 13 to get to Brooklyn; Channel 13 is WNET, the PBS station in New York. (Although in Central New Jersey, we could also get Channel 12, the PBS station in both Philly and Wilmington, and Exit 12 is probably the only exit on the turnpike mainline that I never got on or off.
