Ah, New Jersey

Now I wasn't expecting anyone to roll out the red carpet for my return to New Jersey, but I did get a pleasant surprise from these guys:

Throughout the past four years, when I cruised the mean streets of Searcy, Arkansas, I can only recall one circumstance when I was flipped off. Even then, all they did was give me the bird, no big deal. No one ever rolled their window down, barked obscenities through their mirrors at me while they attempted to cut me off, no one ever threw something out their window at my car etc. While driving around town today, I was greeted not once, no not twice, but three times by separate groups of guys who cursed me out because of my driving habits. I went to buy a baseball glove and came home. We're talking three separate incidents in just 15 minutes on the pavement. Bah, this place is one of a kind.

Ah, the Garden State. All the dirty rumors you've heard about it are absolutely, 100% true.

My flight leaves Newark at 6:25 tomorrow morning. Nos vemos amigos!
