    2023 Advent calendar

    Here is the one I love. It makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. It's about a man who goes to an 'argument clinic', where he's looking for some enjoyment or education in how to do it properly. Included in this one below, he enters the wrong door at the beginning and into several wrong...

    Venomous snakebites kill thousands every year. A California doctor may have a solution

    I am 10 times more afraid of a bear than a snake. But, the pill will definitely be good just in case.

    Introducing my 2023 traditional USGS-style topo

    Looks real good Boyd! Handy to have a big update.

    Dr. Greene

    By the way, that is lowland there on the road. They had to make a dike for long stretches, seems like a lot of trouble hacking that out of the wilderness.

    Dr. Greene

    Oh Jeez, give him more work now. :) You could be right, but I'll wager that hole is a borrow pit for the wet crossing there (maybe).

    Music for the day

    Maybe you're tired and broken, your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear

    Dr. Greene

    Here's a thought. In that old map, the road swings around that old oxbow (where you have your blue circle) and continues dead straight until there's a fork. But in order to get to where you think it may be, he would have to show a bend on his straight road and follow the red mark for it to be in...

    Dr. Greene

    I'll keep looking. Maybe he just parked his mule and wagon on the roadside every two weeks and sold potions and elixers and tonics out of that.

    Dr. Greene

    I think you are close, but part of the problem is determining the Beaver Branch location. plus.....I have to think on it more, it seems the NW part of the road changed over the years. If you click on the below, you'll see what I mean. Is there really a Beaver Branch AND a Beaver run?

    The MAP is back

    See how the NJCF and PPA destroyed Enduro events. It's despicable. Absolutely disgusting and heavy handed. https://www.njconservation.org/current-issues/#pinelands-forest-protection

    Get off your high horse feller. Are you going? Will you be behind a desk explaining?

    Beer (again)

    Do you recall when the drinking age was 18? That was fun.

    Beer (again)

    I treated myself to a six pack of each of these for Christmas, my two favorite German beers. Both are only 4.8%, but the amount of hoppiness is perfect, not strong, just perfect in my opinion. And they both have a wonderful head in the bottle. Try it. When I was about 19 my brother gave me a...

    New Car or Nearly New Car

    That's an odd defect. My 2010 Camry has the tacky dashboard in the summer. Thing is, it didn't start until after 10 years of age.

    New Car or Nearly New Car

    Yes, I know your dilemna. It's hard to get what you want. I wanted the Avalon because I want a smooth, quiet car with V6 power, but I did not want to seem pretentious about it. But they discontinued the Avalon because so many SUV's are what Americans want. That was a dumb move I think. Now it's...

    Music for the day

    I saw a photo this morning; a couple in a cabin in Kentucky from around 1895 or so. It reminded me of this CD I had that I played very often about 17? years ago. Done by June Carter Cash, backed up by Johnny. On this track, I found her voice perfectly suited for it; really gives it an old time...

    Residents rally against housing plan on 700-acre Pine Barrens forest

    John, quite a bit of discussion on this here: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/save-the-pole-bridge-forest.14508/

    The MAP is back

    It would be great if they had the first map they wanted to change back in 2016(?) right next to the one they are proposing now, so one could see the difference. Mark the 2016 roads that were designated open in yellow on that old map. On the newly proposed map, if any of the 2016 open ones stay...

    I made a map of lost taverns, furnaces, etc in Wharton

    I'm not so sure your Wading River Forge is at the correct location. I doubt it was there close to the road unless you have clear documentation.
