"If you are really concerned, you should sit down and talk to The Jersey Devil." The Jersey Devil is my friend but we never discussed this little matter.

They were the best down there! Good ground clearance, good traction, and narrow so they could get through the narrow roads ( a Hummer would be almost useless wide as it is).

The stuff in the can has a lot of sugar in it. Costco seasonally sells real good cranberry sauce, right now. That's all I was swiping, a handful. There's a photo of me doing it on here someplace and u can see I don't even have anything with me, let alone a giant sack. Anyway, your wife is...

Boyd - When I entered the decimalized coordinates for the place i got stuck on your map, how do I mark the spot so when i move the map it remains in place and visible? No, I walked right into and through the bombing range. There was no alternative. I think I was going by compass - or was I...

Thanks! https://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert_input?convert_format=gpx

I'll tell you one thing, the sand road i got stuck on showed no sign of having been used in many years. My skeleton might still be there today, under a 1999 Mitsubishi rented car with a big seashell in its hand. It would be quite a mystery. It wouldn't even be visible from the air because of the...

I saw no one on the bombing range that day, nor do i recall ever seeing military aircraft over those places in the old days, but maybe i just don't remember them. All my waypoints are saved in Garmin's .gdb format. Is there a way to change them en masse to .gpx?

I had left Batsto. It was their annual October festival day and I was merrily tooling my way north through the woods. It was Rt. 539 that I hiked out to. All I had in the rental car was a big seashell I had picked up on the beach, my only digging tool, and one remaining bottle of Mackesons...

Here's what I saved, the spot my rental car bogged down in sand 24 years ago: N39 45.317 W74 26.544 Sorry, If I didn't format the coordinates properly. I'm a bit confused on that subject, and i don't even really use them anymore since my Garmin 276C GPS finally gave up the ghost.

I was near the bombing range. When i hiked out the next day - a dismal day threatening to rain - i had to go past signs saying "Bombing Range - all persons are forbidden to enter". Same when i finally made it to the road and then hiked to a gas station that i spotted in the distance hoping to...

I got nuttin to say til my mouthpiece gets here, see.

I just came across the receipt from the tow truck company: Note: The owner of the tow truck company later called me up and said that the tow truck driver who saved me undercharged me. I agreed with him. We were out there quite a while on rough roads, getting lost ourselves, and his tow truck...

"Just in case my reference was too cryptic, Edmund Gwenn, who played the scientist in "Them" also played Santa Claus (Kris Kringle) in the classic "Miracle on 34th Street"." No I got it. I'm not as stoopid as I look. There's a "keep watching the skies" group on Facebook. Sorry, I couldn't...

Yes it's off on a tangent all right! The NJPB forum might need to brach out into science fiction! Thanks for the movie tip. I've never seen it, but i found it online and i will watch it: https://tubitv.com/movies/536879/the-flying-saucer-the-first-ufo-feature-film On the visible part of your...

In the Plot Summary for Watch The Skies they mention some of my favorites, Destination Moon, the first movie I ever attended alone, playing with its co-feature, The Highwayman, based on Alfred Noyes' poem. I still remember both, especially the latter. The former, Destination, was considered...

I read about how they created that sound: They combined bird sounds with insect sounds. "Santa Claus (Edmund Gwynne)has to save the day!" Wow I didn't know Santa Claus was the hero in this one too! I liked Santa Claus in "The Nightmare Before Christmas". I like Santa Claus. (re Jean...

This is a dangerous planet. If one thing doesn't get you another thing will! It's the giant ants in "Them" that really worry me. I saw that movie when it first came out in 1954 and the sound they make is still stuck in my head...

I don't know. It was the same ants in the same spot that got me recently two months apart. Medium sized, didn't appear to look unusual. Maybe I'll go back there and take their picture, but I'm afraid to do that. Maybe if I wear heavy boots (I usually wear sandals now because of my nerve damage...

Noticing them is the problem, Boyd. Some with more sensitive skin notice them better than I do. Then the little rascals immediately head for the most obscure parts of the body to hide themselves. The ants that attacked me did that too. Right away they crawled under the straps of my sandal...

Tell your ex mother in law that removing ticks with tweezers without breaking off their heads isn't an instinctive skill. (Removing them with gasoline, however, is.) ;-)
