Top things I will miss in New England (part 1):

• somewhat trashy, but unique accents of MA & NJ 
• abandoned scratch tickets and one-shot plastic "nip" containers scrambled in gutters and under shrubbery that camouflage as fall foliage.
• the sound of the hole-punch being fired on the commuter rail as the conductor makes their way down the train putting 8-9 holes in each person's ticket. 
• being awoken to construction workers talking about their drunken night out & getting laid a mere foot from my sleeping head. 
• lying in bed naked sweating in 99 degree weather. 
• the amount of old cemeteries. 
• lightning, electrical storms, and thunder. 
• our jungle of a backyard.
• bunny.
• the double wave lady with a skin blemish who sits in front of her house daily, three houses down from an old man with ray-bans who calls us "gentlemen."
• the rotating and seemingly endless supply of pizzas and beers on the top shelf of our fridge that accumulates several centimeters of water each night.
• watching black ants carrying ant casualties over my foot to an unknown, unforeseen location. 
• dunkin donuts turbo shot, my new wicked jam. 
• giant dead moths at the foot of our bed killed and brought to us as a present by fancy, our cat. 

....more to come.
