People pay a fortune on houses, 1/8 acre plots of land and insanely high property taxes to live in areas of NJ because they're close to NYC.

I came from NJ years ago and I always get a chuckle from people complaining about property taxes here. I mean yeah, they're high, but they're still way less than what they are in the area of NJ that I'm from. To your point, I'll take no sales or income tax mixed with higher property taxes any day, it's still more affordable than a lot of other areas.

Not too familiar with most of the places in Morristown but Stirling Tavern has a legit burger.

>Quest on rt 17 is great

This was going to be my recommendation. I haven't lived in that area for a few years now so maybe things have changed but they had really good equipment and it never got too crowded even during peak hours.

They probably thought they found the deal of a lifetime on the world's fastest commercial airliner.

Even more accurate lol

I live in that area and see kids with FPU hoodies on pretty frequently and they all seem like your average college kid. I'm assuming a lot of the younger people who work at the grocery stores in the area go to that school too and they also seem fine.

Yes, this is so much more accurate.

Stallion Auto Services in Little Ferry. Fady is the best mechanic I've ever been to, he took care of me and my wife's cars for years when we lived in the area and always remembered us by name. I even sold him an older car when I was getting ready to buy a new one. Honest, friendly, and does great work. His google reviews speak to all of this.

Edit: forgot to mention that my wife's car at the time was a Honda so he can definitely work on your car

It's a great place for a hike too, there's a trail that goes around the whole pond.

Tower Hill Pond in Auburn is great for shoreline freshwater fishing.

Do a muenster/pepper Jack combo next time. So fucking good.

Save it for Wednesday.

Hopefully not, but I'm going in to this assuming I'll lose power so I'm planning accordingly.

Nah, Tony can read it and he speaks for everyone.

I really hope you're right, and I've been cautiously feeling the same way. I thought for sure I'd lose power last weekend and it wound up not happening, so my fingers are crossed it's the same this time around.

I mean, what do you want them to do? That's like getting mad that the evening news doesn't delve in to advanced statistics when they're giving a recap of last night's game.

Most people don't care about the reasoning, they just want to know how much snow they might get. The in-depth details are out there for those who want them, that's not what a weather report on the news is for.

>I still think that it's a bummer that it probably drives away people who would love the show if not for having gleaned a mistaken impression of it

It definitely does. I have a friend who I had been trying to convice for a while to watch Lost because I knew he would like it, but he kept saying "I heard it goes nowhere and in the end they don't answer anything". He finally caved and wound up loving it.

I think a lot of people had that theory in their head the whole time they were watching it and just refuse to accept that they were wrong. Kind of like a "See? I called it years ago!" attitude.

I'm with you though, I can't help but judge someone who watches a show for that long, is explicitly told in the finale what happened, and still completely misses the point. I had a coworker who fairly recently was going on about what a waste of time Lost was because the ending was so bad. I told him his interpretation of the ending was flat out wrong and why, but he wouldn't accept it.

Exactly. Like, the ending is not some high concept, obtuse conclusion that you need a film degree to understand. It's pretty straightforward. It's crazy to me that people could watch 6 seasons of a show and then get upset by a clear ending that they somehow misinterpret as something completely different. What were they watching that entire time? I don't think of myself as a very intellectual person that has a higher understanding of things and I don't like accusing people who don't like something with "You just don't get it", but in this case, they simply didn't.

>I loved the ending, but your assumption that people who didn’t like it also must not have understood is wrong

In my experience, it's not an assumption at all. I've talked to multiple people about the ending of Lost and I've asked those that dismissed it as "bad" and "a waste of time" why they felt that way. They all gave a variation of the same answer, proving they didn't understand it.

>Nowadays, I wonder if half the problem is that people are "watching" while dicking around on their phones.

That's almost certainly the issue a lot of the time. I recently learned that a friend of mine watches shows on a side TV that sits next to his main TV while he plays video games. People can do what they want but that is insane to me.

I'm not seeing those totals in Merrimack anywhere else, and the high temps every day will be in the mid to upper 30s. Should be fine.

Check Monday night as well.
