My GOD. No matter you are having such a hard time. Calculus, physics and chemistry in the same semester? Crikey. That's all the hard classes at once. They don't get any worse than that! If you can hack those, the rest is all downhill. :) I'm in a 30 credit program that encompasses lot of...

I'm working on an MS in general Biology. A second bachelor's, that's ambitious! :) How are you finding the classes so far?

What degree are you working on?

Yes and no. I agree that political issues prevent Trenton from becoming the amazing city it could be. I was there today, I brought a foreign colleague there to apply for a SS number and I was embarrassed at how they treated him at the SS office. Then we were approached by crackheads and other...

:rofl:

I love your photos. Lake Placid is indeed a fantastic area. It was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of NJ for a while as I looked at these. :) That looks to me like a Bufo americanus, or American toad. I am certainly not a herpetologist by any stretch, so someone please correct me...

Holy moly, is that fantastic! I had no idea such places existed in VW. That's breathtaking. I see a trip in the Gremlin's future. Thanks so much for sharing these. Wow, I am blown away.

Water-seeking is part of the terminal stages of the disease.

oh, I see now. A lot of hard scientific evidence says otherwise. It's way beyond theory. I do understand the argument as to what's causing it and I respect your opinion of Al Gore. But have you seen a map of the polar ice cap recently?

Who's disputing that global warming is real?

Well, that report makes me feel a little better about it. The mortality rate is pretty low. That's good news.

This sounds like a really bad outbreak. :( Makes me want to work for the state insect control commission. I'd love to be able to work out the best way to control these damn midges.

Good to know. Mr. Gremlin is usually sleepless and miserable for a week after a day in the pines because of chigger bites. (he's a delicate flower). We'll give that one a try. Thanks for the tip.

No. People don't get EHD. This virus does rear its ugly head now and then in our deer populations, we had it happen 8 or so years ago in NJ, I believe in the same area--Somerset and Middlesex counties. Biting midges, or Culicoides, are certainly around, and they carry more than EHD. These are...

Awesome, thanks so much for alerting us to this. :)

See, this is the sort of thing that keeps me coming back to this forum. That's great information, Guy, thanks very much. I'll have to incorporate that into a research paper this semester. It's just the thing to write about. :)

Great photos! I am in the middle of a graduate ecology class, so I am embarrassed to ask you this, but what's a "spung"?

I just switched from Comcast to Verizon Fios TV because of $$. (we save about $50 a month because of the package deal we now get). While nothing beats Comcast for content, (their On Demand is just awesome), Fios is pretty good and will only get better. I recommend it. :)

I got a passport, and that makes my life a lot easier. I carry it wherever I go.

Bastards. That makes my blood boil. Someone needs to get a frickin job and not steal from people and destroy their property. I don't understand people.
