Driving and Sweating in New Jersey

I took a trip back to New Jersey last weekend. This was the second time in a week that we were in N.J.. I just want to say that driving over 800 miles in a week is not my idea of fun. It was great to see all the people that we care very much about, but that drive is a killer. And the closer and closer you get to the metropolitan area the more the crazy drivers come out. There were many fingers given and many angry looks. I on the other hand was a cool and calm driver that made no mistakes along the way.

The reason for trip this time was a picnic for my 2 nieces who had graduated this year. The picnic was great because there were lots of people there who I had not see in a while, so that was great. The one downside was that it was over 100%. It was so hot that farmers were feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs. It was so hot that the trees were whistling for the dogs. Get the picture. Other then the heat it was a great time with good people, good food and good beer. My one of my tasks at the picnic was to try to talk all of my family and friends into moving to Maine. It remains to be seen if that worked.

it only counts as the full on summer experience if, at some point, your ass gets stuck to a hot leather car seat. and not in a good way.
