Look, I am not a fan of Scott Perry at all but I'm all for doing whatever we can to stop the threat of New Jerseyans entering our state.

Where did you land in WNC? I love those mountains so much and want to do the same!

I live in a somewhat rural area of the state and the lack of respect and resentment towards teachers is real for a segment of the population. They will fight against any attempt to raise local taxes to increase funding for schools. The thought of more of their paycheck going towards funding schools is something they cannot stomach because their pay is already suppressed and below average for their line of work.

They, or as they see it, nobody else, is putting a fight for them for their financial well-being so why should they be forced to improve the well-being of teachers and their own kids in school.

There's a reason teachers don't like living in this district they teach in due to the local hostility this scenario naturally creates. In their eyes, it's not okay to see a teacher drive a newer car then them, go out to eat at a restaurant when they rarely do or even have nicer clothes then them.

They don't want to risk the repercussions of trying to improve their own financial well-being or maybe it's not even a thought to them, I don't know. They would rather see others deal with their current struggles and misfortunes then try to improve their current situation.

It's a work harder, not smarter mentality they live by. Nobody should get more than the 2% a year "If you're lucky!" raise they have gotten each year for the past x years at company z. If you want to make more money, put in 30 hours of overtime. Instead of fighting for better wages, which they truly deserve, they'd rather do what they can to bring others down to their level.

Word of advice, rent first and spend a year exploring the area within your needs and go from there. Buying in an unfamiliar area can lead to major buyers remorse very quickly.

Two 20 pounders over Summer is pretty much whipping up dinner every day on the grill. Propane can't match the taste of charcoal but charcoal can't match the day-to-day convenience of propane. Day-to-day propane grilling also makes the days you whip out that Weber charcoal grill so much more especial. 🍗🍗 👌👌

>Buses. It’s much cheaper and less complex to run buses.

And this is exactly what Amtrak does via thruway connecting services when a demand is there but laying new rail lines is not feasible. e.g. the State of Maine.

Also when I travel to Philadelphia from Central PA, it's always by Amtrak because it's about the same cost as tolls/fuel/parking but there is absolutely no stress involved that comes with driving to Center City. The train is usually at 10 to 20 percent capacity with most passengers hopping on closer to Philadelphia. You sometimes feel as if you are the only one in the train car on the lucky days.

Not after Highlander Phil gets a hold of him.

I am Phillip MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1818 in the village of Punxsutawney along the shores of the Mahoning Creek. I am immortal.

There can be only one famous groundhog in Pennsylvania.

It's the road salt/brine that literally eats away at our vehicles that I hate. You can do your best to postpone it but the salt always wins. Then your vehicle, that is mechanically sound, is off to it's new owner in Ohio after it fails to pass a PA safety inspection due to no longer being structurally sound.

Visiting Cook Forest in NW PA is an eye opener. Seeing these massive old growth white pines and hemlocks towering 150 feet tall is something else. I'm thankful for the forests we have now but seeing what it used to be is down right depressing. Our forests today would look alien to someone from the past before everything was clear cut.

Crudité platter from Wegners of course!

>temperature inversions

Bingo! and the most famous inversion event happened in Western Pennsylvania south of Pittsburgh in Denora.

Inversions are definitely a thing in the Southeast of the state. I used to commute through Lancaster and Lebanon counties along 322 and on still winter days, you would see the smoke from farms burning trash rise up undisturbed vertically to a point and then spread out horizontally as if it was trapped by a giant pane of glass.

>The trooper ran the license plate which showed that Carabllo had a suspended driver’s license until Oct. 8 of 2081, which was also related to DUI. Caraballo had 11 previous charges of DUI since 1990, the district attorney’s office noted.

Clearly license suspension is the correct way to deal with these people /s
