Yeah, I'm smug and clueless.

Smug, certainly. You figuratively looked down your nose at my entire state. Clueless because you really have no idea what it's like in Jersey other than your short tour. You've formed an opinion of the state that while it may be true in parts, certainly isn't in most of the state.

I'm a transplant too, I lived in Rural Ohio for 28 years. Been in Jersey for 12 now. I'm earning probably more than Triple I could have ever expected to be making in Ohio and it's just as Rural here as in Ohio except I've got Black Bears and Turkeys.

I'm a transplant from California to New Jersey. Twenty years. I have a Cal sticker on my car, and you would be surprised at the number of Grr-Rrr-Rah!s I get. Apparently I'm not the only one.

You have no idea of how long I was there, or where my travels took me.......

And I'M clueless?

Have a nice day!

Yep! I live in North West New Jersey, the Republican part of the State. We have bears, turkeys, giant red headed woodpeckers, coyote and so I’ve heard, mt. lion.

Too bad this beautiful highland area is connected with the rest of the swill that is New Jersey.
