Ah something good from the Johnsons...

<ggg>

I had no idea how big Houston is... The thing about Manhattan is that it is clustered on that tiny island. It is tall not wide. When you come out the Lincoln Tunnel and head toward the Meadowlands... there is "open space" I am blanking out on the billboard concentration. After a while you do not see them.

The "open space" is one of the reasons I've always preferred this area to the Chicago suburbs... you leave that city and go past house after house after house... very flat, no breaks or obstructions. We are blessed with our trees and hills. The housing is concentrated the closer you get to the city but you don't have that soulless grid feeling.

I was thinking about Monday's drive... the biggest farm I went by on the dirt road seemed to have construction activity. As I entered the road, I caught a sign saying that Lamington Farm construction vehicles were not allowed on it. They appeared to have cut there own road farther down. Asked my sister about it. She speculated more McMansions (area is not conducive to more townhouses and condos... too much money). This morning it hit me... bet that is Trump's Jersey place. I remember reading that he had bought in Lamington a year or two or three ago. My gut reaction was there goes the neighborhood... this activity may prove me right...

Dang. They'll probably wind up paving the road.

I really appreciated my little section of 80 and my drive yesterday... no superfluous advertising. <ggg>

P.S. You're right about TV program vs. advertising time... No wonder I always have something to read when I'm watching the dang thing.
