Delaware - Part Two

Delaware is just about as interesting as you think it is. There's not a whole lot to do here, but there are apparently a lot of reasons to live here. I found out, almost immediately, that Delaware doesn't have a sales tax. Most major chains hike up the prices of food to compensate, but you can find major ways to save money. And according to one of the guys in the office, Delaware is great for retirees.

But what's funny is that the office is that few people actually live in the same city as the office. In fact, most of them don't live in the state. I know one who lives in Philadelphia, and the main boss lives in Maryland. Which is funny because he says his daily drive in takes about 20 minutes.

That's how long mine is.

Tonight is Friday night, but our group isn't really doing much. In fact, most of the natives laughed at the idea of doing anything fun nearby. Apparently the University of Delaware is close, and we can go over there for a bit of the college-type experience.

But, for the most part, our plans for the weekend are out of town. Philadelphia. New York. Maybe Atlantic City.

And I know that most of the country thinks their city is boring. But, usually, it takes more than a couple of days for a visitor to conclude this.
