I consider a benny anyone who does not currently live on the jersey shore. Not that I put you in the same category as "snookie" or "the situation". They are the real bennys. But you are still one too,just a little less of one.

I completely agree with you and your implied defination. I believe that anyone that owns a house and lives in it there at the shore for any length of time is a local. To me, Benny's are ppl that vacation at the shore during the summer. I lived in STR from 1969 to 1980. While I was there I considered myself a local. When I moved from there (even thought I still owned the house in STR) I became a Benny again since I no longer lived there. My comment about not being a Benny was in the context of implying that I knew the back roads, the general condition of same and who and what you could expect to find on them at any given time of the day or night.

I have a brain, so I don't watch snookie or the situation (whatever that is). Reality TV isn't. It's staged, poorly scripted, poorly acted melo-drama. In short, it's evening soap opera and I have better things to do with my time.

By the way, I haven't been in that area for a while. Do you know, did they ever find a new place for the museum for Mr. Hankins boats and displays?

Update , I went Boating this weekend, Low and behold on our way back on the SR 528 two accidents, Pathfinder rolled over and another car ended up in the bushes.
FHP decided the block the road as I was approaching, I was driving along flowing with traffic at yea close to 65 MPH but in the process of slowing down.
Traffic came to a abrupt halt as he step out to shutdown the highway, needless to say I forced to apply my Brakes to avoid a collision.
SUV directly behind tires were smoking before it came to a stop. The Trooper and him was exchanging words from the looks of it it was not kind words.
My Truck, 5 Adults and lord knows the load in the bed came to a graceful stop. I felt the trailer brakes working perfectly like it should.
I think I have adequate brakes..My nickname is not REDUNDANT~SEA for nothing...

I will keep my eyes on the current ones if excessive corrosion I will replace with a better quality in the future.
I am using my pressure washer to clean her up also after my trip.
