On Tuesday my eldest got on a flight in Minneapolis heading to Philly.
From there he took a bus to Cape May, New Jersey. Destination, the

Coastie boot camp.

Semper Paratus.

Congratulations and
I am originally from the East- so Joisey is the correct pronunciation.

Only if you are from Brooklyn, or watch too much lame ass-ed David
Letterman In New Jersey, Mid Atlantic speak it is Neuuuu Jerrrrsie.
And as a kid we could always tell new kids who were from "Sow
Jerrsiee" and cruelly called them "Rebels." But now Jersey-speak is
more likely to be pronounced with an accent honed in Bangalore,
Hyderabad or sumsuch, and Sari shops are not hard to find. (IMHO That
HBO show set in prohibition Atlantic City gets lots of the nuance
right, even the NYC and Philly stuff.)

On US#1 near Rahway, one night last summer, seeking directions, 3
stops for same at gas stations drew NO, ZERO, NADA speakers of
English, or Spanish (Puerto Rican, Castillano, or Mexican), or rough
French, or rough Cheska, platoon leader or any other recognizable
patois.

And the times they are a changing on the banks of the old Raritan.
