One thing about Belleview, though, based on the sex-offender data:
It's one
town in which you want to look over your shoulder before you bend
over
to
pick up a bar of soap.


Bar of soap? I didn't realize NJ didn't have liquid soap. I buy
shampoo at the dollar store to wash my hands and shower with. You
have
to be a fool to use bar soap in a shower when you're disabled.

Ed has led a rather sheltered life. Much of New Jersey is pleasant to
opulent, a Garden State to be sure. Lots of bluewater salt sea shore
beyond the refineries and garbage dumps, what's not to like?


I've never been there, so i wouldn't know. I tested out of a three
year engineering course at Ft. Monmoth while in Basic Training, and
that
was the closest I ever got.

I just think its funny that so many people from New Jersey move to
Florida and constantly brag about where they came from. They get
really
upset when you ask why they left 'paradise'


Hey, ask them why they left Florida after they move back up here. We left
(in 1963) because it's a swamp in the summer time, more than anything
else.
My mother was afraid we'd all develop mildew. g



Swamp? What swamp? You must have been in the deep Southern end of
Florida that is reserved for morons.


I see. And you're in the belly of Florida, a place that's a good
recommendation for carrying pesticides and disinfectant with you at all
times. g

We lived first in Key Colony Beach, in the Keys, and later in Ft.
Lauderdale, on SE 13th Street, which lies between two canals. In the summer,
it was difficult to tell where the canal ended and the atmosphere began.

As far as mildew, you should have
left sooner. At least before the brain rot set in.


Perhaps you've waited a bit too long, Michael.
