As with many places, we have a love/hate relationship in the Berkshires with the second home owners and tourists. The difference between here and, say, Lake Geneva and Chicago, is that so many of our invaders are what I call New York assholes. I know it may be worse in the Hamptons, but it can get pretty bad here as well.
I went to the little country store here in Egremont yesterday to pick up my mail. A man entered the post office area while I was doing so and said "did you forget your mask?" I replied "actually, yes, I did forget." He bellowed "you're a prick!" My responses to him were not cordial. I came very close to decking him.
He was driving a BMW with NY plates. Enough said.
