New Jersey, you need to stop doing this at your polling places (Opinion)
Let’s be trustworthy, election season sucks.
We’re bombarded with pamphlets that we’re not going to learn. There are obnoxious indicators in every single place. To not point out, it seems like each 10 seconds you’re listening to or seeing a political advert that does nothing to tell you of the candidate, it simply bashes the opponent.
It’s extremely irritating.
That mentioned, the folks to take out your frustration on are undoubtedly NOT the individuals who gave up their day that will help you do your civic responsibility.
This previous Tuesday at my Monmouth County polling place I heard a number of folks get vocally pissed off on the harmless ballot employees.
I used to be standing in line once I noticed two totally different guys berate the girls behind the desk about how they didn’t ask for his or her driver’s licenses earlier than giving their signatures.
The kindly volunteer defined that whereas they’ll’t request to see their ID, if you wish to present it to them, that’s positive.
*Cue the loudest scoffs I’ve ever heard adopted by what appeared like a painful eye roll from these guys.*
“Nicely THAT’S bizarre!” they growled on the ballot employee.
No it’s not.
Even when you don’t agree with New Jersey’s coverage that you just don’t have to indicate ID to vote (which, by the best way, is nothing new), there’s no must take it out on the individuals who volunteered to handle the voting machines.
If I witnessed this twice within the lower than 10 minutes that I used to be in there, I can not think about what number of occasions the ballot employees needed to cope with this.
Significantly, please cease doing this to your native volunteers. They don’t seem to be the supply of your frustration.
Do you assume these persons are those who made that call? What do you assume you’ll obtain by giving them perspective for this?
When the following Election Day comes round, let’s be higher, New Jersey. Go away the ballot employees alone. These volunteers are giving up their time for us and so they don’t should be met with such vitriol.
Election season is tough sufficient, we needn’t take out our frustration on others.
Ballot employees, we thanks!

Beautiful golf course in the rolling hills of New Jersey
I’ve come across one of my new favorite public golf courses. And it’s one I had never heard of until just the other day.
It’s in the mountains of Hunterdon County. Well, mountains might be a stretch, but compared to where I’m from they certainly look like mountains.
It’s High Bridge Hills Golf Club in High Bridge New Jersey. It’s one of the most picturesque golf courses I’ve played in our state.

Super hilly, beautiful views of the vegetation and rolling hills around you. Some of the tee boxes are incredibly high up which creates a fun look.
It’s also a relatively wide-open course. There aren’t many times you’ll find yourself in the trees. The problem though, is the fescue rough that is seemingly on every single hole.
If you miss the fairway you’re likely to end up in knee-high fescue rough that is just impossible to hit out of.
There’s also a ton of blind tee shots. It’s essentially “target golf” if you will. Pick out your target from the tee box and try and hit it there and hope. Because you won’t be able to see where your ball lands on a lot of these holes.
The condition of the course is as good as you’re going to get especially for a public course. The fairways are tightly mown and the greens are fast and roll very true. You won’t have to worry about any unexpected bounces.
It will really feel like you’re playing a course outside of NJ. It’s one that should be on your bucket list.

New Jersey’s most popular condiment isn’t what you’d expect
Condiment – noun: a substance such as salt or ketchup that is used to add flavor to food.
Summer means the start of barbecue season in New Jersey, so we’re going to be using a lot of condiments in the coming months.
Slathering a hot dog or hamburger with your favorite toppings is one of the best parts of an outdoor hangout in the summer, but do you think you can guess what the Garden State’s most popular condiment is?
If it were up to me: it would be hot sauce. No question.
Whether it’s a national brand like Frank’s Hot Sauce or something Jersey-made like White House Station sauce, any food item is just a vehicle for me to basically set my tongue on fire.
However, a recent study shows that New Jerseyans prefer something much different when it comes to condiments.
The experts at The Cookie Rookie used Google search data to see which popular sauces are the most loved in each U.S. state and nationally.
According to their research these are New Jersey’s top ten searched sauces:
🔟 Ranch dipping sauce
22,200 annual searches
9️⃣ Hot sauce
22,400 annual searches
8️⃣ Tartar sauce
22,900 annual searches
7️⃣ Relish
26,300 annual searches
6️⃣ Ketchup
27,300 annual searches
5️⃣ Mayonnaise
28,500 annual searches
4️⃣ Salsa
31,800 annual searches
3️⃣ Pesto
45,600 annual searches
2️⃣ Sriracha Sauce
46,000 annual searches
Drum roll for our number one most searched sauce in New Jersey…
1️⃣ Worcestershire sauce
What? How? Why? Are we sure that this isn’t googled 50,600 times a year because nobody has a clue how to properly spell it?
I have to believe the only reason this is number one in NJ is because people aren’t googling “how to make grandma’s tomato pasta sauce,” otherwise there’d be no competition.

These are the highest-rated supermarkets in each of New Jersey’s 21 counties. The ratings are based on reviews left by customers on Google. To be included in the top, a supermarket had to have a substantial number of reviews (typically at leas a thousand).

New Jersey couple just sitting in their backyard when massive object falls from sky 'out of nowhere'
The roof of a New Jersey home was severely damaged in a chilling incident when a large chunk of ice fell from above on Wednesday.
Paul and Sabrina Gomez were sitting in the backyard of their Patterson home at around 9:30 p.m. when the projectile came out of nowhere and left a gaping hole in the roof, the New York Post reported. The couple were seated at a table less than 12 feet from the impacted area.
“Out of nowhere you just hear a hollow sound coming down and honestly we didn’t think anything of it and then you just hear a big DOOOOSH!” Sabrina Gomez told News 12 New Jersey.

The family rushed to the front of their house, where they took a video of pieces of ice spread out all over the driveway. The home sits directly underneath several flight paths, according to the news outlet.
“When we look up, it’s basically like a plane flying by,” said Sabrina Gomez.
The couple has filed a claim with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to investigate. They believe the ice fell from a plane passing overhead.
The FAA told Fox News Digital that: “Generally speaking, we investigate reports that we receive about incidents such as this.”
The chilling incident comes nearly a year after a chunk of ice weighing between 15 and 20 pounds struck a Massachusetts home, according to the Associated Press.

Jeff Ilg said he and his wife, Amelia Rainville, suspect the ice fell off an airplane traveling to Boston Logan International Airport. The ice chunk, which Ilg said was initially estimated to be 15 to 20 pounds and hit their home in Shirley, 50 miles west of Boston.
“We heard an explosion, basically,” he said. “The loudest pop, bang I’ve ever heard.”
