Just a couple things that tickled me from along the way…<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

\"\" <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

And you all tease me about NJ and its toll roads<\/em>?<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The particular pleasure of watching your fat expertly glazed at Krispy Kreme… ack… too sweet! And what’s up with *waffle houses* and *biscuit houses*? And sweet tea? But absolutely no decent coffee anywhere within a 50 mile radius?<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The mountain version of internet service, evocative of the days when two tin cans and a length of string constituted phone service… and the folly of hosting 17-some bloggers who were then forced to pirate a wi-fi signal wherever possible.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

A *new* river that flows north. Backwards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Right. We don’t really do mountains in NJ. WTF?<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Rare red trilliums that are um… white? Or is it yellow? I have so many pictures of trilliums I’ve forgotten who’s who. W. Virginia is awash in trilliums. They should better protect their flowered hillsides<\/a>, I think.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The whole Southern fascination with B-B-Q. I never got a look at the pit, but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t made out of half an old oil barrel.
<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I think this could probably be an on-going list, as we all remember things…<\/p>\n

Anyone?<\/p>\n
