    Disturbing experiment in human behavior

    There was an old funny list of 'you know it's going to be a bad day when...' and one of the examples was getting your horn stuck while driving behind a group of Hell's Angels. Yikes! Happy New Year to you too.

    Disturbing experiment in human behavior

    Unfortunately there are some whose gene pool needs a bit of chlorine. I do want to say, though, that as a teacher I do see more benevolence and conscience in the kids that I teach today than I saw 10 years ago. I hope that the generation coming up makes the world a better place, and when...

    Disturbing experiment in human behavior

    Arrogance and hubris. I have met few people who have both an honest respect for animals, and a real love for people. Very sad.

    Is this a real Book

    I saw this movie recently. It's not too bad compared to some of the horror films that have come out in the past 10 years. They do use the name Wharton State Forest as the location in the movie, but as stated above, it's unfortunately not shot in our Pine Barrens.

    Carranza Memorial in wraps

    I couldn't imagine that a person could go into that place and not cry. I don't think that being of Jewish lineage would affect your feelings one way or the other. I am not of Jewish faith, but all I could think of was the experience of unspeakable loss and suffering of other human beings. I...

    Carranza Memorial in wraps

    I visited the Auschwitz camp in Poland in 1995. The saddest, scariest and most overwhelming place I've ever been.

    Parking Area and Coordinates-Ong's Hat

    Hi Folks, Thanks for the information so far! That's interesting! I've been on the stretch of the Batona Trail that goes through Brendan Byrne but I've never been all the way through this stretch (Ong's Hat to Deep Hollow). Would you say that this is a nice hike to take a group on (some...

    Parking Area and Coordinates-Ong's Hat

    Hi Folks, I wasn't sure where to find the parking area for the Batona trailhead at Ong's Hat. We were going to hike from Ong's Hat to Deep Hollow Pond. Does anyone have the coordinates for the trailhead at Ong's Hat, and could you let me know how large the lot is (if there is one)? Thanks for...

    Drove drunk to NJ police station

    Not related, but almost as funny. I know of a case where a guy was so drunk that he couldn't find his car, and he called and reported it stolen. Apparently it's an old urban legend that people do it, but in this case it was apparently true.

    Climbing Trees Does NOT Keep You Safe From Black Bears

    My wife and I saw one, we surprised it by walking up on it. It was no more than 10 feet away when it noticed us and ran and hid behind a tree. I couldn't believe how fast that thing ran. What's the story in this case? Was the bear going after them, or was it going after food they had, etc?
