Too bad. Working only ten minutes away, I got my lunch there now and then. It seems all the unique mom-and-pop places are being replaced by generic Wawas and the like. It's becomeing a more boring world.

I watched it with my 12 year old daughter because she thought it might be too scary to watch alone. Afterward, she proclaimed "that was pretty lame". From the mouths of babes!

They're interviewing Russ!

The enthusiasm of a good gundog is the primary enjoyment I get from waterfowling. In fact, I do little if any hunting when I am between dogs. It is not something easily described to non-hunters. My current lab is a better family dog than a hunter, despite my best training efforts. That happens...

After having gone to college, I don't have higher expectations of college students, much less of those chasing ghosts.

They contacted us about staying overnight at Wells Mills and filming part of the segment at the Oakley/Conrad cabin. Unfortunately, the plan fell through. While on their way here to scout out the location they ran out of gas and never rescheduled the visit. I guess we will never know if we have...

As a LEH resident, I find that great news, but I was even more interested by the attached article about the new spillwayat the lake, including a fish ladder! Perhaps I should start seeking out herring recipes!

Five inches so far in Little Egg Harbor and still falling. I sure wish i didn't put off getting those new tires for my truck. A 4 x 2 with little tread isn't happy in this stuff!

Based on the odds of an encounter, snakes and other critters are at the bottom of my list of worries for my dog. Encounters with people are usually at the top of the list. My dogs are usually off-leash and you never know if the person coming down the trail from the other direction is afraid of...

They just never seem to get it. You can’t treat wildlife habitat the way you treat a cemetery or historic site. Fencing it off and attempting to stockpile populations does not work with an organism that does not understand boundaries. Add to that the convenience you are handing illegal...

Very true. When i was in college, we took dendrology field trips to nearby East Brunswick to examine pine barrens vegetation.

I can't clarify what I said any better than others already have. But I do want to add that I place little value on degrees myself when it comes to this topic. They amount to not much more than a few letters after your name. I learned far more after college than I did during it. And I know many...

Deleted, due to lack of computer skills! :)

I’ve been following this thread with both interest and amusement. I figured I’d just as well put my two cents in. As of this fall I will have spent the last 20 years working at two different nature centers. A good part of that time was spent dealing with the public regarding sightings of...

Green Acres is not a designation of a specific type of property. It is merely a funding program that provides local governments money to acquire land. They then post the Green Acres signs that you may be seeing that acknowledge the funding source. That being the case, there are no one set of...

As a railfan myself, I second Jerseyman’s opinion on the restoration. Being true to the original paint scheme is always preferable in the mind of most railfans and since freight cars from virtually any railroad could have passed through Pemberton there is nothing unrealistic about it being...

I often think that species such as quail and bluebirds are not as much in a stage of decline as they are returning to what their natural populations once were. Habitat changes are pointed to as major source of blame in the article above. The “glory days” of quail hunting that old timers fondly...

Good news. I rarely read the comments after those articles though. Unlike moderated forums such as this one, too many imbeciles are allowed to spew their nonsense

In the past, I have been more likely to vote along party lines for legislators than for executive positions, unless the legislator in question was a real stinker. The problem with voting for individuals rather than voting party in the case of legislators is that an individual has little power by...

Agreed! :)
