What are you talking about? It's been in the thirties for weeks now.

Honestly i hate hearing stories of when my parents went ice skating at colonial park in central jersey. I have never experienced that in my 30 years. As a kid i loved the snow we would get. But we dont get anywhere near that now

DMV will let you know. I suspect the answer is yes though.

Outdated inspection is a pretty minor ticket, and you have a window from when you register before it needs to be done. Its more of a "do you want to be stopped" question. Most cops will run your plate before stopping you, see the registration info, and go on their way while you are in the window.

One problem I've found is no one on the West Coast or overseas knows where New Jersey is, or even worse thinks NJ is only next to NYC so over the years I've taken to just saying Philly when someone asks me where I'm from. I can see the skyline (very clearly) from my front door so I guess it's not too much of a stretch, but it kills me that by saying that I'm aligning myself with PA over NJ.

The symbology of Nationalism has been co-oped by folks that a majority of NJ dislike or disagree with. I don't, not love my country, I just resent some redneck nascar meth-head nominating themselves as the gatekeeper of what the nation stands for. I dont need some low IQ fox noise talking head questioning my loyalty.

My side did not fail in a coup. Cause that's super patriotic.....

We feel the opposite. Moved here from NYC with my parents as a middle schooler back in 1980 and have been here ever since. Started traveling extensively with my wife/kids over the last several years. (Road trips out west, travels to Europe and South America)

I’ve never felt any type of home sickness for Jersey. So much so, that a relo is now firmly in the cards for us.

Always did. In New Jersey, (Judge) Perlman relied on (Newark's) mob boss and bootlegger extraordinaire Abner “Longie” Zwillman. In turn, Zwillman looked to his pal, ex-boxer and gym owner Nat Arno, for help in recruiting Jewish tough guys. The ever-generous Zwillman covered all costs incurred by these “Minutemen,” who saw themselves as the elite fighting force of the Revolutionary War.
