Really haven't seen any for awhile now at my place. But I did a fresh permethrin treatment of my outdoor clothes recently.

Was just reading about this map here https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidbressan/2025/09/13/new-map-shows-us-geology-in-unprecedented-detail/ You might hit a paywall with that link, I originally read the article on Apple News (you need a Mac or iPhone for this)...

As we used to say, "pictures... or it didn't happen"! :D But seriously, no reason to doubt you. After being a NJPB member for 14 years, congratulations on your first post! :dance:

That article seems to be behind a paywall now, maybe it only lets you read it once? Anyway, here's another one https://www.sciencenews.org/article/avoid-mosquito-bite-beer-sunscreen The first thing that crossed my mind was, you'd have to be either drunk or stoned to put your arm inside a...

Not personally familiar with that location, guessing it's somewhere around here? The green-shaded areas on this map are public openspace. You can use the app like a GPS on your phone and it will show your location. https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/39.473141/-74.800044/darkstreets/0.00/0.00 You can...

Let's say you're right and they were guilty. What do you think happened to the trash on their car when they returned? I'm sure they would just dump it on the ground right there, making you a littering co-consipirator of sorts. Guilty or not, they're probably pretty mad about finding trash on...

IMO, it's pretty bold to make yourself the "judge and jury" like that. Maybe they were the guilty party, maybe not. How do you know somebody else didn't come and go while you were away? Don't get me wrong, anyone who would dump garbage like that is despicable. But I don't think two wrongs make a...

Awhile ago I saw a discovery channel show about Bigfoot Hunters (?) where they went to the Pines. Sorry, but it was hilarious. Then I realized that this was the show Adam was so excited about coming to the Pines. IIRC, they were having trouble getting a film permit for Wharton. But they...

Moderator Note: I moved 8 posts from this thread into a new thread about artificial intelligence. It's an important subject that really deserves its own thread and was getting pretty far off-topic here.

There are certainly many good uses for AI, but not the examples posted here. Adam Buchler was our resident Bigfoot expert who hasn't been seen at NJPB for 10 years now. Why would an AI get him confused with Manumuskin? Probably the family resemblance. :D But after you stop laughing, think...

Haha, your other post actually made me think of that and wonder if Bridgeton also had a twin! :D

From the radar I've watched this summer, these storms have been very localized. There's frequently been heavy rain within a couple miles while it was dry here. I think it's just been very dry at my place, combined with a long hot spell. Hopefully we'll get a little rain this time, but so far...

One thing that stands to me this summer is the lack of understory growth (is that the right word? I mean the stuff beneath the trees). I have almost a mile of little trails on my property and usually need to trim them back once or twice each summer. Haven't trimmed anything at all this year...
