while I was in jersey...

not only were gas prices were under $3/gal,  there was someone to pump the gas for you at the station, so you don't have to get out of the car in the freezing cold

i had to slow down on the road to let a deer pass

i could see orion's belt (and many other stars) clearly against the dark night sky

the sunsets fill the entire sky with pastels, looking at it makes you realize God's majesty, and your own insignificance in the grand scheme of things

the license plates were yellow

manhattan is only an hr away.

ate new york style pizza - hands down the best.  nothin like an oversized slice of thin cheesy (drippin) pizza seasoned with hot peppers, oregano, & garlic powder - eaten with hands, by folding it

and of course, spent time with friends & family - some whom i've known for 9 years!!!
