One reason why we are leaving New Jersey

VigIIPeaBurner wrote:Funny how so many in PA drive into NJ to make a living. They either didn't leave it behind wen they moved to PA or it grew up in them in PA. As I drive to work an any hour, the a whole drivers usually have PA plates on their car. Moral: it can happen anywhere. Where there's more people the frequency of it hitting you on the head is in your favor. That would be NJ or anyplace in the NE.

When ever i have the occasion to take a driving trip west of the Mississippi, I always note that on my return east the density of buffoonish drivers increases about 50 miles into Ohio. It gets worse the further I drive east. People stop waiving their hand in a friendly hello at intersections and start using other gestures that are now more universal than when I grew up. Somehow I don't think they're pointing at the sky

People can trash talk any place down the tubes. All parts of NJ aren't like that just like all part of other states aren't always a slice of heaven. I've found a slice and it's in NJ, thank you. I live and work here. And by the way, people around here are nasty, the water tastes awful, the air stinks and you can't open carry off your property. Shhhh, stay away

Sometimes it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission

The two worst places I have ever lived by far is Chicago, where I lived for 7 brutal years. It is a horrible place unless you like to drink. In fact you have to drink to be able to stand it there. The other place is Trenton, NJ after I left Chicago I lived there for 9 months, until I could afford to get the heck out of there. That's when I came to PA and I like Pennsylvania very much. I have learned that I do not like big cities no matter where they are and the New York City Metro area is NO exception to that rule.

It's still here.

Many days I have to work out of Hoboken and take I 80 to get there.

I head out on the deck looking out into the woods wearing only my underwear,

Uh...more info then I need to know, Dave... But I will confess...if I can't pee outside then my property is too small.

Sounds like your location is exactly like mine. I have a slice of heaven surrounded by hell - but the hell is too far away for me to hear.

... and like you, I vote to keep it that way

Sorry, I never considered it TMI 'cause one of the primary requirements of our future retirement property is that we can sit on the porch or anywhere else on the property in our underware or less and shoot our guns. I just thought great minds think alike. Lisa

Unit One at TMI is licensed by the NRC to operate until April 19, 2034. That will be roughly 60 years if it doesn't melt down first.

Owuhhhh ... tha-dump-dump (imitation of a drum roll)

Lisa - thanks for the voice of agreement Unfortunately I can't safely shoot a powder gun off the deck. For safety sake I stick to air, painball and airsoft (fun at 300 rounds a minute!) The lay of the land is there are several properties below me. They can; one has two back stops in the hillside and the neighbor next to them along side & up the hill has at least one. In NJ none the less
