Early Morning Observations

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Referral Group Incorporated

I drove from western Massachusetts to central New Jersey this morning. I left in the dark and made a few observations. I stopped for coffee at a highway place and it was sad. It was kind of like a third world nation: poor people working hard in difficult surroundings. I admired the work ethic but was grateful I never knew this sort of thing myself.

Once in New Jersey in the middle of a highway there was a family of Mallards. It was strange and I hope they didn't get hurt. Finally I hate rush hour traffic and am so glad I now live in a place without it.

Sheila, folks who work these small restautant or cafe jobs work very hard for little pay. Hopefully the ducks are all OK.

 It's hard for me sometimes to realize that you can cross into so many states on the East Coast because on the West Coast we only have three states.  I have to drive for 12 hours to get to San Francisco where as you can be in Boston, New York or Philadelphia;  within a couple hours Sheila Anderson

Hi Barbara. Noman Rockwell lived in my town and it is essentially the same as it was when he lived here. Tourist season is busier but nothing really. TY     Sheila

Living and driving where there is a lot of traffic can be frustrating at times.  I notice more and more of it here in Sacramento all the time.  We have the American River which divides one part of the city from the other.  Commuting takes folks across about 4 bridges.  A few decades ago, land was procured through eminate domain to build another bridge that would have helped us out a lot presently.  Unfortunately, those in power who were living along the river where the proposed bridge was to be, fought hard against it, and prevailed.  We are reaping the harvest of that now!
