We're in New York, Neeeewww Yooorrrrk!!  I absolutely love this countryside, the Adirondack forests!  But, um, is it just John and me, or is everyone in this state seriously pissed off?  With the exception of one couple we met walking their dogs in a park (probably visitors from out-of-state) everyone we've smiled at, waved to or tried to engage in conversation looked as if they'd just sat their butt down on an enormous, infected boil, and their attitude has been less pleasant.  John asked one cashier where he could find the bottled water and the cashier actually snorted and rolled their eyes, pointing in silence toward the far wall. Wow, did we ever intrude on their day.   Looking forward to meeting up with family again in a few days and together the four of us soaking up some good ol' Southern hospitality.  It's a little too chilly up here!
