From your lips to Gods ears, Bob.
If I was the king of the USA, I'd cut off CT from around Hartford on down and just cede that mess to NYC. Then cut NY state in two at the Tappan Zee. Let the northern state join New England and leave the "bottom" one to join up with eastern NJ and Philthadumphia.
I know this is a popular sentiment in the majority (area wise) of NY state.
(and should earn me some more of those coveted negative post votes!!)
In case you can't tell I'm not much of a "city" person.
PS - The upcoming Pats Jets game on Monday night should be quite interesting. If the refs in NY hadn't
handed the Jets the win earlier this season, the Pats would be 10 & 1 right now.
PPS - Not only are the Pats doing well, their
cheerleaders are looking pretty darn good too...
