    Maybe that Texas incident spooked the weather forecasters.

    Visiting the ruins of the Batsto trestle

    By the way, I'd go for a footbridge that people can visit, with one of those old time wrought iron(?) signs giving a very brief history of what was there. Of course, the dirt bikers could not resist........

    Visiting the ruins of the Batsto trestle

    It is a bygone era now, and our memories will recall it fondly. But now, it's important for the authorities to remove all trace of it and the tracks all the way to the ecotone were the cedar swamps border the river. Far better that than to leave the hulking remant there to mar the landscape for...

    Music for the day

    That white boy George had real soul. I once missed an important concert. He played at the Sunset View Inn in Browns Mills, and I was not quick enough to realize it, so did not make it in. I really liked him, and still have his solo album "Thanks, I'll eat it here". Unfortunately, he died very...

    Garmin discontinues the Oregon series and some others

    When (if) I buy that brick, I recall the site saying it comes with Birdseye. I posed the question one time as to whether its an updated set of aerials.

    Remember, I have them on my flash drive. There may be something we can do.

    Music for the day

    I was a big Marshall Tucker Band fan back in the day. I saw them in Asbury Park when Toy Caldwell was still alive. When I saw this album online about 10 years ago, I had to have it for the cover alone. Yee ha! Here is the instrumental song with the same name as the album.

    Guy, remember, I had that refurbished with a new screen, so maybe they still offer that. It was $80. They also repaired the button we press so often.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Guy, maybe have Jess try my cooling method. I have a small cooler, maybe a gallon. In the bottom I throw in two terry cloth wrist bands and two neck bands (one for the forehead). I then cover them in a little water and fill the cooler with ice. When I leave the truck, I take them out and put...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I went out for four hours today to look at some plants I'm keeping tabs on. Every time I got out of the truck I was apprehensive. After about 100 yards walking, I'd start to monitor myself and how I felt. It was grueling. I was careful to return while I still had things right in my mind. Still...

    Music for the day

    Do any of you remember Murray Mchlauchan, the Canadian singer-songwriter? I have 2 of his albums. I have a fondness for good writers who sing clearly, when they are are easily understood and their songs are about real life and real love. People like Murray. THE FOOL WHO'D WATCH YOU GO
