I think it was "sauced--up" hunters drivin' gas--guzzlin', monster SUVs!:rofl: ebsi

Right--on, Boyd! Some of these things remind me of fun times long ago; some of these things are an expression of my rather inane (and "arcane") sense of humor... Ben and Guy, and others, too, discuss, at length, elsewhere on this forum, the relative advantages/disadvantages of one type/make...

I agree: This is something that ought to be investigated/monitored closely. Are you listening Atlantic County Audobon Society? There has been much discussion in the press on this subject, especially in relation to constructing a wind farm near Cape Cod. Edward Kennedy is opposed to the...

The tallest Phragmites I've ever encountered were at the Finns Point National Cemetery --- when I visited there in the spring of 1992... I think they must have been 12 or 14 feet high! Driving down the road to Fort Mott was like driving through a thick, tan forest. ebsi

Nice! :jd: ebsi

The Press Answer Guy Q.: Which homes in the area are receiving electricity from the windmills in Atlantic City? Answer Guy: Electricity produced by the five towering turbines at the Atlantic County Utilities Authority’s wastewater–treatment plant likely goes far beyond the region’s...

Many thanks, Guy, for the nice pics! It is almost like being there...:jd: ebsi

send 'em an e--mail, Ben! Maybe they'll send you a free "plumber's butt" T--shirt...:mrgreen: ebsi

One of the major Piney philosophies was: “If it ain’t broke, don’t ‘fix’ it!” You just didn’t mess around with something that was working OK. If it broke, you either fixed it yourself, or you got it repaired. You just didn’t go out and buy a new one, unless, of course, the cost of repairing the...

"In the Pines, in The Pines, Where the Sun Never Shines." :rofl: BTW: That, I believe was a song that Bill Monroe recorded. I may have an old 78 of that --- 45 years ago (Has it been that long?). Might be some Dobro "geetar" on it... ebsi

A photocopy of a private letter in my possession seems to indicate that a member of the Howard family lived in a large house there. So, perhaps, the largest of the smaller buildings may have been that residence. My assumption would be that it had a cellar... ebsi

People who lived in The Pines 50 and more years ago classified themselves as either “Haves” or “Have Nots.” There was none of that “Rich” or “Poor” stuff: No “Upper” or “Lower” “Middle Class” — just “Haves” and “Have Nots.” period. The “Haves” were considered “wealthy.” In general, they owned...

I hope you did, too, "paddler"! Did you have some cranberry sauce? You, know, it's GOOD for you (like blueberries, very high in antioxidants), and good for the local economy (Buy locally grown produce!), as well. ebsi

Bob, That is interesting! ebsi

I don't know: I'm still reading... However, the commentary is exceedingly well documented. Broken links are few and far between. It seems uncanny to me that when I click onto his URL, I get connected almost immediately, and I use a dial--up connection. The site is humongus! Who is this guy: Who...

Guy, Cedar Bridge lies between the Keith and Lawrence Lines, does it not? ebsi

U.S. Copyright Office issues new rights By ANICK JESDANUN, AP Internet Writer Published: Wednesday, November 22, 2006 NEW YORK (AP) - Cell phone owners will be allowed to break software locks on their handsets in order to use them with competing carriers under new copyright rules...

Ben, Do you know if Garfield DeMarco belonged to the Co--Op, too? ebsi

From what I've read, the Lawrence Line was drawn to give the Proprietors of West Jersey more territory, however it was never officially accepted... Guy, do you know what angle the Lawrence Line makes in reference to the older Keith Line? I have, as yet, not found an answer, and attempting to...

Fifty and more years ago, when I was a lad, about this time of year, but before upland game season began, we hunters hunted "sauce" in The Pines. The bog owners had already flooded their bogs and taken their harvest, but there were always plenty of berries along the edges of the bogs to be had...
