I poked my head into the Manchester WMA fire area to see if it's worth botanizing after the fire with my friend Mark. This was a hot fire (see cedars below). I think the answer is only a maybe. There are very few roads in here, and getting into the stream area requires a committment of time and...

I think there's an old blueberry field in that area. I can see them scraping the ground flat to set them in. Maybe that's the pile from using a bulldozer.

That is a very good question Dash. I lived in Bamber 38 years, just a few miles away, and I never realized that berm. Ditches are normal in the area, but that berm is a puzzle for sure.

I surveyed 20 swamp pink sites this Spring. Many were in Camden and Monmouth Counties, outside the Pine Barrens. It's odd, but it seems fires don't even start there. I wonder why that is. It does not seem like a suppression problem. The vegetation is totally out of control and fires are badly...

I can't stomach the taste of bourbon, but I'm glad these companies are thinking ahead, which will benefit us all. https://modernfarmer.com/2023/10/the-bourbon-industry-relies-on-white-oaks-which-are-in-decline-now-theyre-all-in-on-saving-them/

My girlfriend at the time, in 2017, bought me a brand new Blu Ray, but I've only used it once since. But I keep it because I like westerns, and will watch them in the future (or so I say to myself).

Those squirrels are nocturnal if my memory serves me. I've only seen them twice in the pines, one time was on a pbx trip. I have no idea if they were northern or southern, and I didn't realize there was a difference.

Those 4 foot tall open boxes you'd walk by in Walmart or other stores with movie movie DVD's or music CD's piled in a heap? I don't think I ever bought even one. I'd always flip through them and wonder why I'd never heard of these movies or music

I joined a mushroom facebook page a year ago, just to see the photos. That group had newbies posting mushroom photos and asking "can I eat this"? Sometimes someone in the group said "sure". I told one newbie that I'd be damned if I'd eat a strange mushroom just because someone else said it was...

Nice photos Ron!

I was not there. I have always liked McPhee's humor very much. Another book he wrote was very good and funny...

Try this, because it works. Stop your vehicle and sit there with the engine off and the windows closed until all of them are gone. Takes less than 2 minutes, most times within a minute. Then simply get out, and they won't be there.

I don't hear much of that one, but I think it was on the south side of 532 SSE of the dam. I think Lakehurst had a Union Furnace.

I want to add something about flies and mosquitoes this year from mid-july on. They were virtually non-existent. I was bitten by one deer fly, and he was a loner. It's been remarkable. I've been in and out of salt marsh areas several times in the last 2 months, and there was nothing harrassing...

I just buy a 3 pack of LEDs from a big box store and scattered them about. Even then, I always wonder why I can only find one when I need them, and that's after a search. They always work.

On my plant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eupeodes_americanus

Where do they fit all the cars and tables? I suppose somebody knows the person who owns the field on Liebig st.

Rule #1: never try to get something done by committee.
