In the winter I can go snowshoeing, cross country skiing and downhill skiing and perhaps throw in a This girl loves her Baltimore Ravens Hearts diamond mascot 2024 shirt ice fishing. I’m not a hunter, but those who hunt will find deer and bear up the wazoo along with wild turkey, quail, pheasant, rabbit, coyote and many other game species. If you can’t bag game in New Jersey, then you aren’t a very good hunter. On the downside there is the traffic. It can be bad, but nowhere nearly as bad as some other places in the US where I have lived and traveled (hello Washington DC area and LA!). Taxes and cost of living are high. I’m paying $1,100 a month in rent for a tiny (700 sq ft.) log cabin that doesn’t have a single closet. It is also miles from any mass transit and the nearest supermarket. In may other states I can have quite a nice house for that money. It costs LOT to live in NJ.

In my mind, it is complete, and is one of the Jelinsky Legends Never Die Shirt poems. Every reviewer, save one, thinks it has no meaning whatsoever. Quoting from the best analysis of this poem from the late John Spencer Hill, “The first and, for over a hundred years, almost the only reader to insist on the intelligibility and coherence of Kubla Khan was Shelley’s novel-writing friend, Thomas Love Peacock: “there are”, he declared in 1818, “very few specimens of lyrical poetry so plain, so consistent, so completely simplex et unum from first to last”. Perhaps wisely, Peacock concluded his fragmentary essay with these words, thereby sparing himself the onerous task of explaining the consistency and meaning of so plain a poem as Kubla Khan.” (John Spencer Hill, A Coleridge Companion).
