Two Things That Fill Me With Joy

Hundred-year-old color photographs from Russia--many thanks to rednikki for the link.

New Jersey's Supreme Court got it right, as we all thought they probably would. I have seen the future of America, and it is New Jersey!

Hooray! ... but-

I don't want to live in New Jersey again! I like living where people don't tell me that I'm crazy for wanting access to a swimming pool, and I should go to the "Jersey Shore," and then look at me funny for wanting to go swimming there, because almost nobody actually goes swimming at the shore, you know, you just sunbathe and walk on the beach. I like living where I can go cross country skiing, and sledding in the winter, and where nobody assumes I'm from another country because I'm polite. I'm warning you, if I have to move to Canada to escape New Jersey, I will!

In spite of that, I'm very happy that their courts got it right. :-)

Yeah, that would be weird. Usually when I go to the shore, I go with a friend who's a marine biologist, and her immediate response to almost all substantial bodies of water is to get in them, so I didn't realize so many locals were averse to swimming.

As to Canada, well, I have seen the future of New Jersey, and it looks kind of like Canada, now that you mention it.
