Hey, there's nothing wrong with New Jersey! After all, how can you say anything bad about a place whose state tree is the telephone pole, state bird is the mosquito, state flower is the beer can, and state motto is, "Damn, it smells bad here...let's go inside." After all, New Jersey Public Television once had a show called (and in the words of Dave Barry, I am not making this up) "A Lot Happens Between New York and Philadelphia." And we Philadelphians know that what makes our city look so good is that it's right across the river from Camden.

Welcome to the 'Cat, Gordo. All I know about the Maritimes is that they all begin with N. Except Prince Edward Island. But I've heard they sometimes call that one Ned.

Aloha,
