Out of all those, I enjoyed WVa the most! I was in most of the Southern states during my time in the Civil Rights movement and met a lot of wonderful folks...sure a lot of angry ones too but that was expected. Attempting to discredit folks because of where they live is nothing more than ignorance...good and bad exist everywhere!
And second was Jersey no doubt. Where did you live in NJ?

No, I spent over a year in NJ while at Fort Dix....Browns Mills and Boyertown (sp?)...didn't really like it but then, I really didn't like the Army so hard to be fair!

Well Fort Dix isn't NJ. Any military base doesn't give you a feel for the state. Plus southern Jersey is more like Maryland than NYC area. Come up from the sticks. Great place.

I didn't live on the base....wife and I had an apartment in Boyertown (sp? Think that's not right spelling) and a short time in Browns Mills...stayed off base as much as possible although my wife worked at PX in McGuire...brought home far too many AF guys...

i actually live in a part of virginia that is near where that happened. i also work at the tv station that covered it last week. when the video got back of those poor horses it was very upsetting. we didn't have video of the dead horses, but we did have the ones that lived. it is quite depressing to see that our youth would do this. i think we should just be happy that they were caught, because a lot of times when people do this to animals they aren't.

I agree that it's good they were caught and yes, it is unsettling. We all have a dark side, keeping it in check is sometimes difficult but always necessary.

Randall,
I was born in Teaneck, lived there for many years. Also Tenafly, taught in Dumont. I also lived in Palisades Park.
During my highschool days, I spent way too much time in the shore area, Long Branch, Monmouth Beach, Deal...
NJ always has a soft spot in my heart.
Also, my undergrad is from Wm Paterson. (Wayne, NJ)

Willy P. Went to Rutgers myself...Glad to know Jersey has a special place....Don't know where I want to end up. Maybe here, maybe not....If I could take the winters I'd live in upstate NY.

Here in the Catskills it's plenty cold today. But the firewood is all cut and split and the fireplace is roaring. Maple syrup (sugarin' time) will be here soon enough.
Where are you in NJ, Randall?
