I make Maple syrup every year here in the Berkshires. Sugar maples abound. The beautiful Berkshires. An hour from the oceans and an hour from the snow-massed hills of the Greens. I head to Buzzards every spring and fall. The Pioneer valley. It's beautiful. Too bad about Eastern MA. Bluetards. Up in he hills of western MA it is still the 1800.s. if you stay away from the easterners.

It is beautiful. Too bad it's in Massachusetts. Way out on the Cape is nice too, once you get past Dennis. But, again, its still in Massachusetts. No group of white people, anywhere on earth, is more horrible and irredeemable than Bostonians. A truly evil and horrible people.

LOL! They love to move "down south" and explain our culture to us, though a few are truly great people who dig authenticity. I like Jonathan Richman's music (a Bostonian, I think). Otherwise, just thinking "Boston" gives me the creeps. Stupid music combo, too, though, apparently, Scholz was a super engineer.

My buddy from Georgia calls them "half-backers." They move to Florida, but its too hot and there are too many bugs, so they move halfway back and end up in North Carolina or Tennessee.

My Mom is from the Dolomites, Northern Ginzo she was. White as the snow of the Alps. I hate the heat down south. I love snow.

Born in Los Angeles, next time I hear one of those northern barbarians say, "I luv de four seasons, eyh, I can hardly wait for de snow" the response will be immediate.

Instant bitchslap, *swaspash!*, not even looking.

Backslap included, *schwap-schwap!*
