What exit?  :-)

Just kidding. Hi from suburban Philly, a stone's throw from the Commodore Barry Bridge.
Let nothing trouble you,
Let nothing frighten you. 
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.
He who has God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

Hi iaxelR8!  I  :heart:  your Governor. 

I think the rule used to be that you had to have a certain post count before you could change the Geico caveman stupid looking avatar.  I think they changed the rule because they didn't like how it made the chicks look.  (I could be wrong).  They also used to have a high five/bitch slap system which measured your Karma.  I didn't like that much, because you could anonymously bitch slap somebody without defending your stance.  A cowardly ploy, which has been scrapped. 

We're the real deal here; we have very few trolls (we call them chewtoys).  They don't infest the place, they leave pretty quickly. 

Welcome!

Thanks for the continuing welcomes. I love the Governor as well...making the tough choices and not taking any sh*t. Not so large scale, Sheriff in my county stepped down which is more good news as he was a very strong Democrat. I certainly don't expect a change to red, but at least we're moving in the right direction.

Welcome nice to see more Yankee's join us :-)
