no, it is the Jersey Coast, Monmouth county
sharks do live there, saw quite a few when I was younger. There were never any seals but they are there now.Still though, looks like sharks live there. I miss the ocean.
Is this where Jaws was filmed?
I think Jaws was filmed in California, though the setting was Nantucket.dragonworks said:no, it is the Jersey Coast, Monmouth county
You're right and you're wrong!I think Jaws was filmed in California, though the setting was Nantucket.
The story behind it was inspired by events in the early 20th century in....New Jersey.
I live in Covina, California situated @ 20 miles east of Los Angeles...and about 20 miles north of Doc Stawl.. Doc is @ 10 degrees cooler cause he's closer to the pacific ocean... My retirement target is Encinitas which is just a little north of San Diego ...So Cal weather is damn nice most often...
Lived here all my life ...it's pretty chill...but then I work from home so I am able to deal with the traffic that occurs when you live in the most densely populated county in the nation on my terms.
have all the amenities a suburbianist could want...literally 100's of restaurants and stores within a few miles... Home is paid off so just utilities and taxes but it is a bit expensive living here...we burn through a few G's a month just hangin... our damn water n trash exceeds $100 ....electricity @ $250 medical insurance....damn!
I'm moving!
Since, through the distribution of risk among a large population, insurance allows the person who can't afford to pay attention access to expensive diagnostic and treatment services, the tiny minority who want to be treated like people whose well being is more important than the rest of the rabble and can pay for it- should be able to buy that. But only after they pay their share into healthcare for all. The only people who drop through that safety net are those who want to be treated like people whose well being is more important than the rest of the rabble but don't want to pay for it. Fuck them!I'd say the average is better. Of course, if you have the money, the doctors in the USA are probably better. But the case is that nobody but a negligible statistical minority has that kind of dosh.
Here's where I live. I tell people I live in St. Louis, because that's where my wife and I both grew up (and we still work there). But about 10 years ago we moved out of the city and built our own house in the country. We both still work in St. Louis, and spend most of our leisure time there, but our official address is Waterloo, Illinois (yep, that's farm country). We have a "way-too-big" house on "way-too-much" land (25 acres) and we're actually listing it for sale this spring. We've enjoyed our time in the country, but now that the kids are gone, we're looking forward to moving back to the city!
Here's the close-up aerial view of the house:

And here's a look at our property:

Nice! I'd like to build a house right in the middle of a plot of land. Then I'd buy a couple of 4x12s. 25 acres would be way too much, but half an acre or something would do nicely.
This is a great thread, let's keep it on track and not about healthcare or grammar.
