'cause that's all there is to New York, right....!? Oh, wait, that's right, I forgot Orange County, 'cause that's "Upstate" New York, you know. Let me give you JG's quick rules of geography: 1). North of Orange County, NY is Canada with the limited exception of the Adirondacks which a bit like the Guam of New York. It's somehow part of the state but in the middle of any ocean of Canada. 2) Jersey City is the north pole and therefore 20 miles in any direction is South Jersey (i.e. Sussex County) 3) The Mason Dixie line is in Bayonne, NJ so travelling further south than about 35th Street in Bayonne means you are in Kentucky. 4) Anything northeast of the Bronx is Boston and therefore sucks the big one accordingly. (Some people refer to the outlier parts of Boston as the eastern parts of Westchester, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and the rest of Massachusetts which includes the County of Rhode Island.) 5). It is a myth that anything at all exists between New Jersey and California. Route 80 is actually a Super Mario Brothersesque warp zone that allows you to just pop up in the Bay Area. There will be a test on this on Monday so I hope you are taking notes.

in a slightly related matter, did anyone see the article that says that Boston is no. 3 in the country for bad drivers and mostly likely to commit road rage? Now, it didn't actually say who is 1 and 2, but if we are not #1, then it must be NYC. Who would the other one be? Somewhere in New Jersey? Josh
