    Electric company telemarketing calls

    My wife and I have been getting them out here in the Ozarks. We escaped from NJ two and a half years ago, but still have 609 cell phone area codes on the cell phones. Even got some snail mail from SJ Gas!!

    A Memorial Day story from Richland

    I was curious as to when the rug mill burnt down. I had an uncle who worked possibly in that mill or one relatively close to South Vineland. I do know that he wound up in Freehold and worked in the big rug mill there for a few decades. He is very possibly in that photo of the Richland mill.

    Sasquatch in the Pines

    Its a shame that people out partying have to create such a rucus that it ruins other peoples experiences. Having attended many multi day events, I go with the expectationt that it will be noisy unti the wee hours of the morning, and trying to get a good nights sleep can be very difficult. But I...

    Greetings...I'm making a film on the Pine Barrens

    Hi David, I can't wait to see the results of this project. We met the day you were shooting at Friendship. My wife and I were out doing the cleanup and painting bridges that day. I wish we had the time to listen to the group playing. My offer to help you carry gear through the woods still...

    Sasquatch in the Pines

    Perhaps it was Silica enhancement. I am enjoying the discussion of this topic. Especially the fact that folks with opposing view points can discuss it civily whether they agree with each other or not. Because the people that I have met through this forum are such good people, is why I enjoy...

    Sasquatch in the Pines

    While walking through the woods after midnight with no flashlight down in Virginia, my buddy and I heard something strange moving through the brush near us. We stopped and listened, thinking someone was trying to sneak up on us where we were camping. Some of the guys where I went to school would...

    Forest Fires and Survival

    I would try driving away. If that is not an option, I would try to drive as far from the fire as possible, then try to get my truck off of the road possibly, so that emergency vehicles could get by. I would park on the side of the road away from the fire. My other thought would be to drive as...

    New Jersey: full of unhappy people?

    Every time I go south I never want to come back to Jersey. Jo and I were talking to a guy in S. Carolina last spring, and he was getting tired of all of the "Halfbacks" moving there. They are folks from the north who moved to Florida who decided that they didn'y like it there and moved halfway...

    Hunt for scarce bobwhites may be off in New Jersey

    My earliest memories of the Barrens were listening to the Bobwhites, Whippoorwills, and machine gun fire from Ft Dix, at night while at the Methodist retreat at Mt. Misery back in the seventies. I didn't know their numbers had been reduced so. Come to think of it, I can't remember the last time...

    Wharton/Atsion 2009 clean up?

    Looks like everyone had a good time. I decided that trying to keep pace with my homework had to take priority again this year, so I didn't make it. I would have had much more fun hauling trash, than doing physics. Hope the star makes it back to where it belongs.

    Archery Opens Statewide Oct. 3, 2009

    I remember in Readers Digest, a story about a distance runner who had heard that the indians would run down deer on foot and kill them with a blade when they tired out. He took an apple with him instead of a knife and tried to run one down. I think it took him a couple miles, but the deer...

    Another winter forecast says....

    Over the course of the past few years, I would laugh when people said we had a cold winter. Perhaps we had a spell here and there, but not cold winters. I know, I was outside in them working every day. I can remember playing hockey on the ponds when I was in high school around Christmas, I don't...

    Remember the days of riding a Schwinn?

    Is it a good thing that there were not videos like this back when we were kids and didn't have to wear helmets?

    Wharton/Atsion 2009 clean up?

    I think I can make it this year. Past two years had other commitments. I'm sure my wife will come too. Its a good time, good folks and a good cause!! George, its great to see that your S-10 will make it too. Great little trucks. It took a woman running a stop sign to finally put mine out of...
