“Jersey is Barstow without the great weather.”
I am still trying to digest that. ???
I just got his joke (hope it was a joke). NJ and Barstow are both crappy.
Barstow is bad enough but as I noted above that it is in dead, broke, and stupid California and NJ is definitely trying to catch up with them.
A better comparison for NJ weather and circumstances might be China Lake CA.
