    Don't take it like that, I had great fun debating it last night.

    Hey, look at all these pressure gages for sale (er, I mean gauges). https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Pressure-Gauges/b?ie=UTF8&node=2611568011

    Identify this structure?

    From your article: "Newell is purported to be the person responsible for the adoption of the USGS spelling of “gage” instead of “gauge”. Around 1892, Newell reasoned that “gage” was the proper Saxon spelling before the Norman influence added a 'u'. USGS historian Robert Follansbee speculated...

    Identify this structure?

    You guys agree because you are old fuddy-duddies. But I'm right on this, and you are not. And either way is not correct. If you are measuring something it's gauge. You better go back to school. https://sens4.com/gageorgauge.html...

    Identify this structure?

    I disagree Scott. It's gauge. But you've had a civil engineering education, so I respect that, and I'll listen to your explanation. But also, what is the preferred name in use today?

    By any standard, especially when you consider the father, I gauge Guage to be fine young man.

    Fire Ecology in the Pines

    I highly doubt they would drive onto that road chasing that fire.

    Fire Ecology in the Pines

    In here John, it says the fire spread 200 feet per minute. That would reach the road in 13 minutes, and if it started north of me? Note that I have nowhere to go South. The road does not cross that cedar swamp. https://www.nj.gov/dep/52earthday/milestones/m2007.html Don't get me wrong, your...

    Fire Ecology in the Pines

    Thanks, I was hoping you'd contribute to this discussion. I was not on that road, I was just showing the firebreak. But how about here, where I was 2 days ago, on the Stafford Township line. Could I cook? I am from .4 to .6 mi from 539. RT= D, so if you had a 15 mph breeze driving the flames, it...

    Fire Ecology in the Pines

    Your second question is the burning one (pun intended), and I agree with your last statement. In 2007 when the Warren Grove inferno erupted, the chosen future defense is to create a 250' wide vegetation removal on Micajas road (they liked it so much they did Washington Turnpike). They did that...

    Fire Ecology in the Pines

    Some of you who know the plains might be surprised at the height of the vegetation in this photo. This is that trail on the north side of Governors pond by the bombing range.

    Fire Ecology in the Pines

    Fire ecology in the pines is often discussed. It's not my area of expertise, but it does interest me because of what I see out there. For the past month, I've gone deep into the pine plains performing a plant survey. I'm starting to feel vulnerable out there because of the combination of narrow...

    Ticks & Chiggers--a study

    Oh Joy. This is a snippet of a Rutgers message. "Gulf Coast ticks (GCT), Amblyomma maculatum are in Salem county, NJ. Individual ticks have also been found in Cape May and the Meadowlands area. This is a very aggressive tick and does bite humans and pets. It transmits Rickettsia parkeri and...

    Fix Our Parks

    Chairman, you are not confused. If the road is open without a gate or sign saying keep out, you are usually good to go. It's lovely isn't it? We want to keep it that way. We have it good, and some people want to restrict us. Well, to hell with them.

    Fix Our Parks

    Russ (if you are watching), I listened to the podcast you developed. I take issue with some of your statements on the podcast. Standing at that first beach on the Mullica that has suffered gully erosion, you said there are ‘hundreds and hundreds of places like this”. That’s hyperbole. If you...

    "The Legend of Moonshine Forest"

    I don't know about moonshiners, but during prohibition Lucky Luciano ran a lot of rum through Atlantic city docks.
