I used to be a pickerel fisherman Guy, did that article on McGovern show a photo?

Thanks for the photo Guy. I'm now of the mind that it's Dichanthelium mattamuskeetense.

That Panic grass next to it is going gangbusters. I'm going to guess Dichanthelium microcarpon.

Thanks Mark, now I have a desire to find copies.

Barnegat is getting the train again this morning. Sheets of rain blowing in. Stand by matey!

This is in true pine barren habitat, and here's a photo of last years acorn. Also, I have a perfect hairy, 4 sided bud here from a black oak. You might have given it to me. The buds on these are not angled, more like the tip of a missle, and only fimbriate hairs on the outside lower bud scales.

I have the pin oak like you. They have them in my neighborhood on every street. But the big ones, it comes to Scarlet for me.

Two sets of leaves, I have the ID of both in my mind. What do you think?

Thanks Ron. Wow, not a joke, I thought they were very old, but still used.

While out, I found a strange implement in the woods. I could not make sense of it. See if you can. It had a strange side joint, like it could ride beside a vehicle, maybe a tractor? I thought maybe it was flipped upside down, so I flipped it over. Some type of furrow tool? Near a berry field.

I share your pain. There was a lake I used see a name on, so I used it as a reference. Now it's gone. I think it was Lake bradlee or some such in cape may county.

I really like this oak. I had one in my yard. Very hardy and stable. This found on the Hovnanian tract near South Toms River. In my experience, it's actually very infrequent in the Pine Barrens. Name it.

I actually don't drink heavy, just kidding. I did put the can out because I saw nothing on the horizon and some weather person said the winds won't be very strong in most places after all.

So, in your opinion, should I put the recycling can out or not? I'm wrestling with the decision; drinking heavy.

Yes, very hit of miss. I was in the woods yesterday near Toms River. The wind kicked up nice and strong. I'd normally be worried about fire, but the vegetation this year is growing extremely fast and is very lush. I was near a stream, and the sheep laurel was as tall as me. I've never seen that...

I got a lot of rain, and the tail end of the heavy stuff at 11: 11 pm.

Sad to think about it. I have not heard anything.

They all report to just one of the bases, but there is a separate satellite office at Lakehurst. I think Lakehurst is usually not one of the bases that is top dog though.

I am a huge fan of books on Arctic/Antarctic explorations. So I was surprised today to see this was published a couple years ago. I missed it somehow. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/09/climate/endurance-wreck-found-shackleton.html?unlocked_article_code=1.100.9HPU.XYRMU8Z5ueJG&smid=url-share

I would have asked them if they needed water or something.
