Which exit?

The Gestapo State

George Washington Slept Here. And Here. And Here...

Owned and Operated by Pharmaceuticals, Lawyers, and Insurance Companies

Kalifornia: New Jersey main competition in the fight against freedom. Find a hobby/pastime you enjoy so we can make it illegal. The government need to protect you from the things you enjoy. There is an indigenous gnat that is only found in the area that you perform your hobby therefore we must ban your hobby. Resident that find a tree to hug will receive a tax credit offset by the raise in taxes to firm said committees stated above.

Guns will be banned in the republic of Kalifornia unless you are a senator that has lobbied exstensivly for the banning of guns, it that case you may cary a concealed weapon any where you go including airlines. (Also none as the Fienstien law)

BTW: A seldom none fact, Gray Davis is really a Disney created animatronic character, there are multiple versions. The give away is when he talks his mouth dose not move in sync with his words, (this is not unique to Kalifornia, however)?!?

Power to the people, Montana, here I come! :D

[GundamExpo]

I hear ya loud and clear Dan! I knew something wasent right when Davis got elected again. Must be a conspiricy involving Disney and power companies! the way I see it is power providers hired Disney to create the ultimate politician that would have a secret agenda to hand over every cent of California citizens and the state government to the power companies.

[xerox76]

Did someone point out new jersey?

the best thing to come out of new jersey was route 78



:D

sorry Andy- :p

[AndyKunz]

78 is much better than 80 - 78 ends in PA, 80 goes all the way to Kalifornica.

Not only that, it goes right close to Dan & Randy's! (It's about 20 minutes north of me, I-78 is 3 minutes south).

BTW, if you're traveling on I-78 westbound, I live off the "Last Exit in NJ"

[furyusgeorge]

I once went on the "Great Smell Tour of New Jersey." We rode in Trailways-like buses with huge intakes on the top, unfiltered. Don't recall too many "garden" odors.

Regards,
George

PS: Couldn't help myself after that Bubba Clause bidness.

[AndyKunz]

You should come up around this part of the state. We lost a township in our county a year or two ago - only 38 adults lived in it so they merged to an adjoining township.

I had to design a system for the Salvation Army rehab center in down town Nework. What a suck job. Took about a week to survey. Some portions of the building had no ligthing. They had bells like a school that would ring every hour to wake up all the junkies. 3 times I got lost between the hotel and the job site. What a nasty city. Made Detroit look clean.

[AndyKunz]

Newark's the pits, but Camden is the poorest city in the state and MUCH worse off. Newark is just plain corrupt.

The people at the office wonder why I won't drive an hour to fly from there because it's $50-100 cheaper than Allentown. I'll do Allentown any day - my car will still be in the parking lot when I return after a week or two.

Andy

[T.S.Davis]

I wonder if I spelled it wrong on the drawings. That would have been funny. The AHJ would not have noticed.

When I got back from Newark I remember my dad asking me how the arm pit of America was.

I'm working on a residential project in Detroit right now. We're working for a contractor thats refurbishing a whole city block of highrise buildings. What's weird is that every direction you look out the windows the building are burnt out.

Not all of Detoit looks like that but there are pockets that are just scary.
