I believe you and I went to the same college German (me Cook '81) and I never heard the word either. I do however remember the pointers in dendrology field classes, since I took it in winter, that persistent leaves were discussed as a quick indicator for white oak and beech. I noticed this...

1JD, read the exhaustive thread below for more background. Miller Farms LLC obtained a license agreement from the town of Hammonton to have exclusive rights to the road. It was not a typical road vacation by ordinance as is usually done by a municipality...

The infamous Bloody Bridge.

Reviving this thread makes me even more pissed about the West Mill Road Situation. If it wasn't for the improper road closure, Jon would have been able to access the area easily. A vivid example of how the rights of the Public to access vast expanses of Public Property have been stifled by the...

Parkdale. One of my favorite places in the Pines.

This is a great resource Guy and it brought back a lot of great memories. Thanks for taking the time.

There's the spirit !! You know, I can make deliveries if need be.

I'm sorry to hear that too Guy. It's hindsight now but some of my wine may have completely disinfected you ! :)

Right around an 8" total here. One short power blip around midnight that lasted less than a minute. Gonna try a cardiac test before work. ;)

It's been a dud so far. Not much on the ground here yet, maybe 3"- 4". Worked all day with a skeleton office crew. But it sure does make for a refreshing woods walk with the Bride and Murphy after work. :)

I enjoy States of Emergency. Most of the inept drivers stay home and there are no phones ringing here at the office. :)

Maybe we'll see this again. 28" of snow on February 26, 2010. Taking the late, great Hank back to the bogs an hour after it all stopped.

Black gum doesn't produce the sticker balls that you are referring to. The woods behind my house when I was a kid was 80% sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua) and the rest was red maple. Textbook deciduous wetlands. Not only did we have to rake leaves, we had to rake the sweet gum sticker balls...

Guy's photo was taken very close to the tree and makes it look like a pine tree somewhat. Black gum bark actually looks more like a young white oak. The bark is very gray, slightly platy and usually doesn't get blocky until it gets older. The link below contains the most realistic photo that I...

Bulletproof, Never gonna die, Knucklehead. Words that I would use to describe myself. Until lately. Never had an ache or a pain or any health issues and 60 is less than 6 months away for me. However, starting in October of '17 I started having back pain, not totally debilitating but not much fun...

Nyssa sylvatica Guy. You have to remember that Bob is seeing this. :)

I haven't bought many things at Bean since the 1970's and 80's. To me, that is when I started seeing more imported crap in their line. I still buy their wool hunting socks because they are still US made but if that stops, I'll go elsewhere. I migrated to Filson for the US made tin cloth hunting...

I ain't asking OPRA for nothin'.

Many people aren't familiar with High Standard Joe. They made amazing target pistols and won Olympic competitions in the 1950's and 60's. My first shotgun when I was 10 was an H&R Topper 12 ga. When I was 12 I was give a High Standard Flite-King Deluxe 12 ga. pump for Christmas. I used that gun...

Never owned a bolt action shotgun until last year when I bought a rifled Savage 220. It is really a rifle that just happens to shoot shotgun shells. 1" groups at a 100 yds. with Remington Accutips and it hurls a 260 gr. saboted slug out of the muzzle at 1900f.p.s..
