    States that drink the most beer

    Sorry Scott, you're gonna have to try harder. New Jersey is almost at the bottom of the list; Connecticut and Utah are the only states that drink less beer per capita. :D http://www.beerinstitute.org/assets/uploads/2012_Beer_Consumption_By_State.pdf

    Bee colonies are collapsing

    I think we have discussed this before, but I didn't realize the problem was so bad. Or is it? 31% sounds like a big number. But I see plenty of bees around here... http://finance.yahoo.com/news/mass-honeybee-deaths-getting-worse-174043044.html ______________________________________ Mass...

    Tax reassessment

    I recently got a letter from the town saying they will be reassessing all properties as the result of a mandate from Atlantic County and the NJ Division of Taxation. Fair enough, I don't have a problem with that. However the town says they are not using the "normal" method of contracting an...

    Easter...

    What a confusing holiday. I read the wikipedia page and understand the rationale (sort of), but it still seems strange for a holiday to vary so much. This year it's March 31 and next year it doesn't come until April 20. :confused: In googling around, I found this page, courtesy of the Census...

    Spring is here

    ...After another winter with no snow. We had a few times here with a couple inches, but I never even got out my snow shovel, just used a broom. Not complaining though. :) At least it hasn't been as warm as last year and things aren't blooming yet, so hopefully we won't get all the frost damage...

    Utility poles

    Driving down a small road near me this morning I noticed that someone had dug holes around many of the utility poles (phone/power). A little further down the road, a worker had a "kit" and was doing something in the hole, maybe applying a chemical or taking a sample? These were just shallow...

    Earthquake or ?

    Just felt two pretty big shockwaves of some kind here, shook the house a little. Could have been a sonic boom maybe, but didn't seem like one. Anybody else notice something? Don't see anything on USGS list around here. It was about 4:32 or 4:33 I believe.

    Hillmap

    This is kind of cool - gives you a split screen view that moves and zooms in sync so you can compare two different maps. Also has a bunch of other features that I haven't tried yet: http://www.hillmap.com/
