socialism 49er, your quote hit it on the head about socialism vs liberalism. My wife and I just came back from 3 weeks in Italy where they are socialist. I spent a couple of days with relatives and they have what they need to live and they are comfortable and live well, but they don't have...

sad state of affairs And that story is just one of many. The fact is that unions do not want people doing work for free as it may take away one of their jobs. Remember when prisoners were required to make license plates? That has been long gone, unions objected to it.

Photo/NASA Thanks for the info. What a great shot of the river and sky.

coat hangers A few years ago I got rid of my wire coat hangers. I replaced them with wooden and with sturdy plastic hangers. The day after I did this I needed a wire hanger to retrive a clothing item that fell behind the washer. I didn't have one so I had to move the washer. Several weeks...

Canoe It's like an old sock, you can't get rid of it.

Restrictions on knives The State of NJ is more restrictive than many Communist countries. When Castro took over power in Cuba, the first thing that he did was to make in unlawful to posess a firearm, unless you are military, but the citizens are allowed to have knives of different lengths...

On the water Ed, Great photos. Seems like a good trip. I didn't see any white caps or heard of any small craft warnings. I guess it was a flat water day. How did you keep the camera dry?

site They have been digging here for a while. They put up no tresspassing signs and some tape barriers. They are not there all of the time, but it is private property that we must respect. I just hope that if they find something that they share the results with the public. Tony R

Bear I saw, what looked like an old bear, shopping in Walmart today. She had three of the loudest kids with her. :bear:

4 corners That is good news. When I was out there, an old Indian squaw wanted to be paid for taking pictures at the point where the four states joined. She insisted that she would be in the picture as a testament to this site. I told her that I would pay her for getting out of the picture...

cleanup This area is in front of the Super Fund site called "Woodland Rt 532 Site". Although the properties surrounding this area is private, this particular area is state owned. Good Luck and thanks. Tony R

wharton No, I don't believe that it is part of Wharton. It is in Woodland Township near Rt 72.

Jersey Devil My first wife was related to the Jersey Devil and if you have a lot of time I can really tell you some good stories. All joking aside, there are several books out that have these stories and they can be had at the local Border's or B&N. Marilyn Schmidt may have something down at...

Canoe I know some people that should be on a leash, even beyond the Medford Lakes borders. That wasn't nice, but I am only human. _________________________________ War does not determine who is right--only who is left.

dumping I keep a camera in all three cars, ready to go if I see someone dumping. My wife thinks that I am nuts. I would bring it to the attention of the DEP, Attorney Generals office and the media.

Hidden Lakes We use to go there during the high school years, usually on a Friday night. We would drink beer and enjoy our women. That was a long time ago. Hidden Lakes has a few names as you know, half way, as was mentioned and we refered to it as Freddies lake because a friend of our nam...

:argh: On Tuesday I went to an area of the Pines that I haven't been to in eight months. Sad to say that there was a load of construction material off the road. This is on Rt 532 between Rt 563 and Rt 72 and on a road about two thirds of the way to Rt 72 from Chatsworth and about 1500 feet in on...

North Jersey Different State. North Jersey and South Jersey are so different I consider it as two different states. I don't believe that there is a Central Jersey, they are folks from North Jersey who don't want to be included with that lot. They speak differently, their politics are different...

:siren: The Medford Lakes Canoe is not there, it is gone. This canoe, that MarkBNJ gave us a picture of, in now MIA. This relic of the 1000 year flood in not with us anymore. I went past this site on Friday, April 10, 2009, at 2:00 PM and it was lying on the ground, I was on Lenape Trail the...

Still OKI, I just may give this a try.
