Participant[quote=eavesdropper] Really crummy self-involved driving is practically a professional sport in these parts. Driving under the influence is an employee benefit if you’re a senator or congressman.[/quote]
Boy aint that the truth. By far the rudest, shittiest, unfriendly drivers I have EVER encountered, and as a military person I’ve driven and ridden all over the world. I could perhaps forgive them if they were GOOD drivers, like the ones in Japan, but they aren’t. Plowing around in 3000lb Gucci purses. To make matters worse, I get called an effin asshole about once a week for daring to exist on their blessed roads.
I’m about to leave for a little stint in the middle east, but when I get back we have one more year here. After that I have orders to Okinawa, which is just fine with me. We’ll be looking to return to SD around 2014-15. Maybe Carmel Valley will be affordable by then 🙂

My grandparents used to live on Long Beach Island at Barnegat Light, still one of my favorite lighthouses. Havn’t been there in years. About a week after my grandparents died their quaint little cape cod was replaced with a massive contemporary. We really used to love to go “down the shore” to Grandma’s house when I was a kid. Mothball smell in the attic is something I’ll never forget. The trip down from Philly was always interesting as well; a family of seven stuffed into a 1963 VW bug. I’m rubbing my legs now reminiscing about the cramps I used to get from sitting in the little well behind the back seat with my younger brother. Good luck trying to pull that off today.
LBI is really nice, kind of like a poor man’s Outer Banks.
