Getting better there except for the press, just spend a month in NJ/NY area and people enjoying the summer, although bit cooler and wetter than normal, but still very very good.  Beaches great and the beer is cheap...99% of it is the press turning themselves into Pretzels, had to laugh at Jake Tapper a couple days ago saying he grew up in a middle class household, while is father was a Harvard gratuated doctor and he was sent to all the finest schools..Guess a bit like Anderson Cooper who is a Vanderbilt...
