    The Economy

    They know we know it, so it is not a big deal. It is just a matter of finding a middle ground. It is no secret that times are tough and everyone is suffering. It just scares me the way things are looking economically. Not just for my members, but for my relatives and my friends. Me, I...

    The Economy

    This whole economy thing is hitting my industry really bad. I am a union rep for Local 54 and we deal mainly with the casinos. It is bad, really bad. While, through contracts, our members are pretty well protected, but the at will employees are being cut first. And they are seriously getting...

    Adams, Martha, Nash

    I, too, did the same thing a week or two ago. I noticed the fence and took a step or five in to get a better look at the ruins. It just did not feel right, so I got out of there quick.

    Outdoors; Life in the Slow Lane (todays NY Times)

    The landing gear is still floating around out there as are various pieces of metal. If you stand near the landing gear and look to where the tower used to stand you can see the line of broken tree tops and imagine the path the plane took on the way down....

    Hunting Seasons Begin 9-13-08

    You mean that the state forests don't get even a percentage of the hunting license fee? I always assumed that a percentage of them went to the state forests as well. Do the fees go entirely to the WMAs? If not, I would be curious to see a breakdown of how they are meted out.

    Sorry conditions off Jackson Rd

    I attend the 4x4 cleanup every year and it always seems when we are out there the amount of trash goes down. Then you run into an area where it is worse than ever. Especially the large dump sites. I am not sure of the exact date of the clean up this year; if someone knows it, will you post...

    telephone pole massacre

    I remember driving down what I think was called Hunter's Mill Rd. heading down to Moore's Beach. Every few hundred feet there were bras and panties dressing up a tree. Thought it was really strange and then as we drove further down something else caught my eye. There was a large iron fence...

    New Member Intro

    Hampton Rd. is fairly decent all the way around. You could easily drive your pickup to the ruins. A 2WD car could make it there as well. But the roads are wide and not real sandy. Lots of washboarding though the closer you get to 206. You should be OK going up to Apple Pie Hill as well...

    Chiggers, Gunning River, BL?

    I think when it comes to ticks and chiggers, we should be calling them 'emoticons', not smilies!

    Religious experience in the Pine's anyone?

    Well put. I am not religious but I can truly agree with this sentiment exactly. I guess you could say that if the Pines was a religion, we would all be religious!

    I see all my old posts are there even though I had to re-register. The old posts say 'gipsie' followed by 'guest'. Thanks to the PTB for all the hard work you must put into this site.I know it is a lot of work, but does not go unappreciated. I love this site!:)

    Chiggers, Gunning River, BL?

    I carry lint rollers around in my Jeep, too! I bought some at Eckerd in a clearance bin (.50 each) and they work wonders!!!
