Randall,
I pretty much like Jersey folks.
Only time they don't "warm my heart" is when I have to deal with some of their driving patterns on these Catskill roads.
I wish they would slow down enough to take a look at the beautiful mountains. What's the hurry on a weekend in the woods?
I know...it takes a little over two hours to get away from the hustle and about two weeks to calm down enough to appreciate it.

Heard a Nascar driver once say the best aggressive driving, similar to what he does, is in NJ. Tailgating at 85 is the norm. But old ladies drive like that in this state. It's just the way it is.

Too true! You should see me on the Garden State Parkway...
When I'm there, I blend right in.
Up here, it's a bit different.
Relax. Watch out for the deer and squirrels. You'll get there...maybe three minutes later, but safer for all. Even the critters.

DTS, I think I might be happier in a more laid back place. Probably should move but I'm too close to my family all around this area.

I realize that they drive like that @ home so why the hell can't they drive like that when they come to VT to see the pretty leaves or hit the slopes? They go so F'ing slow I could run faster. Ask steve to tell you about my rants when I get stuck behind Jersey plates...

I'm guilty of the same thing. I had the little Nissan up to 105 last night.
