Where i drive in New Jersey, I could close my eyes and I would just bounce down the highway like a pinball in a machine. There is nothing to hit that is not guarded or padded.

But out west, you can drive or step off a cliff without so much as a handrail. It is important to make the mental adjustment.

I’ve lived in New Jersey. Believe me,
that’s the best way to travel the state.

A few years ago, my son and I drove on a road in the California desert which was straight and had nothing near it to hit. Except little crosses. It was lined with them. I have no idea why a straight road with nothing but sand and a few small plants next to it should be such a death trap.

New Jersey....There is nothing to hit that is not guarded or padded.

That's why it's called the Guardin' State.
