I probably know Texas better than most Texans, due to driving across it from 1964 till I retired last year. I've never been anywhere that I enjoyed the people more than Texas. There is something about those people. But Florida is home but if you folks from NY, NJ, Ct. and Mass. keep taking over down here I'll be on my way to Texas. I am so tired of hearing,"that not how we did it up north," it gets old.

Rick Perry wants to give money back to the taxpayers....incredible!:thumbs:

I have a neighbor who is using your wording a "Native American" he still call his self an American Indian. He said anyone who feels bad for us are free to give us their land. Even in NY were it looks like they are buying it back one house at a time, isn't making the locals very happy.
I don't feel their pain as much as I feel mine. ha,ha,ha.

I always say, "Well, then go back up north again and do it there."

:laugh:

Oh please....you might be surprised to learn that there were a ton of Southern people & people from the Midwest who moved to NJ, mostly for better paying jobs with the pharma & AT&T industries that were prevalent in the last 30 to 40 years. NJ was always the state of the transplant....who BTW screwed up our communities via driving the price of homes & prices up & not giving a whit because the would retire with some fat corporate pension....so the next time you hear this from one of those " northerners" ask them where they are really from and what company they are drawing their fat pension from.

Those are the type who came to my pretty little garden state...basically took a dump on it, screwed it up royally & then split only to mess up other place's. Then to add insult to injury ...the liberals from NY start moving here, changing the complexion of everything...tax and spend up the wazoo! So bottom line, I am tired of fighting it.

I used to travel to NJ to do construction work. Driving there is frustrating. Whenever I stopped for a red light the line of people in their cars behind me would start honking their horns as if I should run the light to please them.

And then there are those "jug handles", who dreamed them up?

Depends on where you were in NJ (north - above Philadelphia) or south Jersey. Different traffic patterns.

Also note in Jersey you can turn right at a red light....providing its not marked that you cant do it soooo

The closer you get to NY or Phil., that becomes freak show central.

I've traveled all over NJ. Same thing where ever I went.

Yeah I know about right on red. I wasn't in the turning lane at the time.

Traffic in Tennessee is crazy too. Around Nashville I think it's actually worse than the NJ turnpike during rush hour.
