If you're talking about my sig, it's part of the Ranger oath from Babylon 5. Considering the really questionable stuff that comes through here, the reference to guarding the bridge felt appropriate. Plus I'm a B5 fan

We walk in the dark places no others will enter

We stand on the bridge and none may pass

We live for the One

We die for the One

Nope I was referring to the link Tom Brown posted. It seemed like he was trying to post a location and ended up putting that in instead...

Hey Bruce and Paul... how is life in New Zealand? Where do you each live again? Bruce, you're on the North Island (Auckland?) right?
I work in Wellington and live a little further north in Raumati Beach. This general area

Now THAT looks like a nice place to relax

Plastic.
(actually, I kid. Although New Jersey has the highest population density of any state in the US, South Jersey isn't that bad. North Jersey, on the other hand, especially north eastern to central eastern is packed in like sardines.)

I actually spent a year in Bible school in that general area (Deptford/Bellmawr area) and there is some nice country there. Of course driving back to NH from there through northeast Jersey was no fun.

I live near here
For all you folks out in Mass, I'm planning a trip trough Boston up to the Cape this summer. Any must see places to visit?
That's where my ancestors came over in the 1740's. There's a Fritchey street in Harrisburg.
In Boston, Freedom Trail is a must. It includes Old Ironsides, the North Church, all that stuff. If you have kids the Boston Science Museum is pretty cool.
I used to work for a company that had a location on Fritchey st. Small world.
Thanks for the tips about stuff to see in Boston.
-Luke.

I'm not a Bostonian BUT, you really should try to make it up to Gloucester. There is a beach there with tidal pools and you can have a lot of fun looking at the sea life that hangs out in the pools. Great fun for children as well.

Well, since we are showing about where we all live, here is where I live.

Now I see why you're running off to the desert all the time.

Well, I'm here

Well, I wasn't aware that Steve was my neighbor:-D

It's an hour drive to Richmond, but it's 55+mph for 95% of the drive.

Sometimes I hate Ajax crap.

Link updated, apparently Google doesn't want to make it easy to sync the URL with the content.

I used to work in Richmond, now I'm a little further west.

Since we're tying this international community together, here's my home neighborhood in San Francisco.

The original home of St Mary's College, now in Moraga, was sub-divided and developed in the 1920's and the bell shape of the street layout is a tribute to the college.
