    As far as being DESPERATE to get back and wanting to give up
    everything you own, that should be easy!  Just take it back to NYC
    with you and wait for the inevitable mugging and burglary.

  As opposed to NYC drivers who are models of calm, cool, and
  courtesy.  Especially the 3rd world models of human genetic
  excellence piloting those nice polite yellow automobiles?

  We just might consider taking up that collection if you'll promise
  to ride the subway from Battery to Harlem every night at about
  2:00 a.m. wearing an expensive suit and lots of visible jewelry.
