    Fire Break

    When we walked our hike, it was abundantly clear to me that very little would have stopped that firestorm in 2007. I wonder why they didn't do the more fire-prone side to block west wind fires.

    Bear turned me on to this article. What do you think of it? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-27/rhode-island-police-to-hunt-down-new-yorkers-seeking-refuge?fbclid=IwAR1LzvBq9qlrp1sW7YjBPY5-J6zPji489u4orhwvT2pgfwUWWehgwYU1bhs

    Isolation 2020

    Speaking of health care workers, I really have a lot of empathy for them right now. They are doing heroic work, and many are dying for it. I think I heard 50 doctors from Italy died so far. Talk about sacrifice.

    Isolation 2020

    :D Perhaps, because like me, you might of had to do it while the kids were growing up and hated having to do another step at the end of the month. Worse yet, let it ride and pay the bastards interest until you got it down again. Those cards were the devil in those days.

    Isolation 2020

    I just got back from Home Depot. It was unnerving. They are only letting 50 people in at a time. So, I dutifully stepped into the back of the line outside. Along comes a woman and her husband, within about 3 feet of my back talking loudly "what's that you say Doris, only 50 at a time? Walmart...

    Isolation 2020

    One thing I noticed. I did it 8 days ago, so it was the first store to do this. As I turned left on Lacey and headed west, I had to get behind 6 cars coming from Forked River direction. When I got to Stop and Shop, 5 of them turned in there! The whole point is to avoid people who are less...

    Let me know how that plan works Boyd. I think it's interesting, and may be the start of something needed. Something being done like that may spur new inventions and methods of people moving.

    Isolation 2020

    That must be painful to have to drive into the city to see your close kin. My daughter lives in Marlton, but that is not as pleasant a drive as it sounds. Just getting through Whiting is a pain in the ass; there are 6 lights I have to go through, and my average is making only 2 to 3 of them. And...

    Isolation 2020

    It already happened this past week but only temporarily. They said people went from the city to Long Island and Florida and elsewhere and will likely spread the virus. But I think the future population for NY will stay (millennials). They've proven to be very advancement oriented I think. The...

    Yes, I"m trying to time the Home Depot visit, but it gets complicated. I was thinking go today since the rain will keep the people away, but conversely, it may push them to go to the store since they can't work outside. Or, if it's sunny, they'll be working outside and leave the store to me, but...

    So, how are you all dealing with it? Do you find it easy? I'm fortunate that I'm retired and was mostly staying home to prep the house for sale. This sprucing up for sale is quite a task. Before the state order I was back and forth to Home Depot 3 to 4 times a week getting project things; paint...

    Fall/Winter Stone Searching 2019/2020

    Guy, that patch is part of the 162 page Double Trouble State Park Forest Stewardship Plan. That one clearing likely falls under Restoration Thinning: "To establish rare species habitat, hazardous fuel reduction, and the prevention of overstocked conditions from prevailing." See...
