"Consumer protection investigators found mislabeled product dates and spoiled products waiting to be placed on display, officials said. The investigation then expanded to all five Stop & Shop stores in Ocean County, authorities said, where they found 'systemic mislabeling practices'."...

It means that map was updated on February 2, 2025. That's when I increased the coverage to all of New Jersey, it previously only covered the Pines. I posted about this at the time The imagery was originally acquired in 2007-2008, as explained further down in the map info. If there had been any...

That seems high. No comcast here, Verizon FIOS is all I can get but I pay $96 a month including all the taxes and stuff for 500/500 mbit internet. For $20 more I could get gigabit - they gave me an unsolicited free trial and I couldn't tell any difference though. My plan includes telephone but...

Very cool! :cool: Some discussion of this atlas almost twenty years ago: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/j-d-scotts-atlas-c-1876-and-the-pemberon-railroad-museum.2125/ I have an old map of Atlantic County that I found at a junk store long ago, later realized that it was actually from...

Looking deeper, there was a link to the report in that January 2024 story, but it is broken. I was able to find the NTSB preliminary report however and have attached it to this post. So, that facebook post is definitely not new, it's the report from right after the crash on December 19 2023...

Found this from January 2024. So, apparently this is the report they said would take 18 months, and it will take two to three more months before they issue a statement on the cause. [edit - that is wrong, see my post below] "NTSB officials said the entire investigation of the crash will take...

I got kinda lost in that, but apparently a summary would be: the helicopter crashed, broke apart and caught on fire for no obvious reason. I guess it will take a full investigation to determine the cause? Or did I miss something?

Never heard of the palace, is this it? I just had a quick look, but think it's farther than 6 miles to Sweetwater. It looked closer to 12 miles (each way) to me, which would be more in keeping with the 19 minute drive time. But I might be confused about the starting point and/or destination...

This is the current NWS projection for Erin, which shows a less than 5% chance of winds greater than 39 mph for New Jersey And yet, I've seen some news reports suggesting that we could have winds as high as 50 to 60 mph. I suppose it wouldn't take much of a shift in the storm track to bring...

Nothing at all here, interesting to see that Atlantic County was pretty much dry. There were a few wet spots but for the most part, that storm didn't do much for the Pines.

Still nothing here, 79 degrees and 80% humidity right now without a breath of air moving. Still some activity in PA, looks like most will miss me but might get a little rain.

That approaching storm initially looked like it would hit me, but it split into a North and South section and both missed. Just got back from my evening walk, cloudy sky, muggy and dead calm without a breath of air moving. There's more rain in PA now that might hit me later. Maybe...

That got me thinking, I haven't been to Zillow for quite awhile, so I checked and it said my house had 1450 sf of indoor living space. That seemed way too high, I really thought it was less. Just went out with my 100 foot tape measure and the outer dimensions work out to exactly 1449.94 sf! Of...

Some storms in PA right now, they appear to be headed (more or less) towards us, so I guess we'll know what happens in a little while...
