    Extreme tick bite

    That's a nightmare come true. I got a (suspected) case of Rocky Mountain spotted fever when I lived in the South. Fortunately, I got symptoms early and the doctor recognized them.

    Consuming pine pollen

    That's probably why I had a scratchy throat for a couple of days. I didn't consider the pollen.

    marlton windmill

    You live at the farm? I want to live at the farm! A few years ago, Jennings Farm over in Medford advertised a house on the property for rent. I wouldn't mind living there, either. There are two other houses (not too many neighbors) and limited access. They have cows and chickens. Who wouldn't...

    I don't like it either, but I'll listen to almost anything if I have a glass of good wine or beer in my hand. :D

    Wanted to say Hello!

    Jerseygirl, I think that you'll be OK. I walked around in the woods by myself for years and I never had a problem. Either walk a trail, like at Batsto, where you know you'll run into others, or, as Teegate and bobpbx said, go where you won't see anyone. If you're going to out for a while, put...

Someone had pointed them out to me years ago, and I recently found a good photo ID and description online. There were three clumps...

    Lots of rain

    I remember that. I was driving home to Marlton from NEPA. Once I got to Marlton, it took nearly an hour and a half to get home. Roads were closed and traffic backed up all over the area. I had to walk the last two blocks because the streets were flooded.
