Hamptons Diary, Part II

Suzy’s Hamptons Diary, Part II

Welcome to New York State!

Paul, my guide to the Hamptons. Great friend, raconteur, caterer to the stars.

The Westhampton jitney stop. Everything’s fancy in the Hamptons – they call a plain old bus a jitney. Doesn’t it sound classier that way?

It’s very patriotic there.

Even the pinwheels…

…and the cereal.

And the school is, of course, drug-free.

    So…… you were in New York State in the US, then? You should clarify, it’s not terribly obvious. ;)

    Interesting, I looked up jitney at dictionary.com and it’s essentially a bus, but it’s origin is unknown. I think that’s interesting because when Brad was in Asia for work for ol’ WW the buses there were called jeepney’s, or something like that. I’m thinking it was the Philippines, but I don’t remember him going to the Philippines, just Korea. My brain is dead…

    Here is a link for jitney

    no, no clue whatsoever on why it refers to cheap buses. Or perhaps using the first meaning.
