    Eupeodes americanus (Hoverfly)

    I'd say they were about the same as usual at my place, maybe slightly worse. There were a few days where the deer flies were really aggressive. I like to go out for a walk around sunset and I wore a sweatshirt with the hood up on those days to avoid them, even though it was warm. Also, driving...

    Where is this?

    My accountant had a home office not far from there. Always thought it was funny that an accountant's address was "Lie big" street. But that was before they sent him to jail... :eek:

    Palmyra Cove

    Sorry, I don't know anything about it. But putting quotation marks around the words you want to search for on this site will sometimes help. For example, this is what I get for "Palmyra Cove" but maybe you have already seen all of these...

    Flashlight of Choice?

    I used to be a "flashlight nut" myself before retiring in 2011. Since then, I have lost interest - I already probably have enough flashlights to last a lifetime! :D I have one Surefire flashlight, it's nice but not nice enough to justify the price or the special batteries it uses. Working...

    Which image? Do you mean the house on the cover of the Pinelands Folklife book belonged to your great and and uncle? That would be very cool! :cool:

    Various Websites

    Have had this book for quite awhile, perhaps it contains a lot of the same images? For anyone interested in the Jetport, the PDF of Tim Hart's research project that Guy posted in this thread back in 2017 is really worth checking out.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    They were lucky - she hung out with friends for a short while after school and her train was actually back in service by then, made it home fine and no problems there either. I read that this is the most rain to fall on NYC in a day (not sure if that's true though). JFK got 8", about 6" in...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Heavy rain here overnight, ended around 7:30 AM, storm appears to have moved out for now and they scaled back the forecast. Looks like a real mess in North Jersey and NYC though with as much as 6" in some areas and it's not over yet. My daughter is working from home today but granddaughter has...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I decided to wait until around 4:00 to take a walk today, hoping it might clear up since it was overcast earlier. Finally got out and it was a mix of rain, wind and clearing. Was surprised because I didn't recall any significant rain in the forecast. Got pretty wet, but it actually felt good.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Looks like the heavier rains will be to the North. In Atlantic County, my forecast calls for up to about 2 inches of rain but the forecast for Chatsworth is over 4 inches! Not much wind, at least.

    What new things would you like to see here?

    Spent very little time here, but it appears that the wayback machine has multiple snapshots of the most recent gallery, starting in 2007. Not sure how complete it is, but there are definitely some pictures here. https://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/http://gallery.njpinebarrens.com/...

    Worst dumping I've ever seen

    Very similar to what happened to the original owner of my house. Landlocked parcel at the intersection of two paper streets, the owner would have needed to build one of them out to current standards. But in this case, his parents owned the adjacent property that had road frontage. So, they...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Might not be so bad this time. I'm sure there are plenty of variations depending on topography and local rainfall, but I briefly drove around the Peaslee WMA this morning and everything seemed OK. The usual puddles were there, but nowhere near full. One little dead pine partially blocked the...

    El Niño winter is coming

    "The Northeast doesn’t have a well-defined set of expectations during an El Niño winter. The region can be milder overall like its other northern counterparts, but it can also be at the mercy of robust coastal storms moving along the Atlantic Coast." "A very strong El Niño during the 2015-2016...

    The bridge to nowhere

    As a moderator for many years at GPSReview, I saw more than my share of "the gps made me do it!" threads and never had much sympathy. As a driver, it's your responsibility to use reasonable caution. This case is certainly a tragedy and I'll wait for the courts to decide if Google has any...

    What new things would you like to see here?

    As I posted elsewhere, I have a backup of my own gallery from 2004. But fixing old dead links would be pretty difficult at this point. There could be some backups at archive.org, we may have discussed that before.
