http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/index.ssf?/base/news-11/1176181820100920.xml&coll=1 Heard about this one on 101.lies this morning. Of course they allow anyone to spread lies, half truths, and misinformation at random. Some hysterical woman called up going on and on about how pratically every...

http://blog.nj.com/timesupdates/2007/03/smoke_in_mercer_county_blamed.html Well not quite. On my way home I had to pick up dry cleaning, so I took a detour off of Route 130 into Hamilton proper (I live on the outer fringe near the Burlington County border) and I noticed a haze in the air...

Took the truck and Sarah down to beautiful Lake Success again yesterday. I really need to get a quality digital camera because my cell phone just wouldn't have done the sunset justice. The wind off the lake was pretty chilly, but we got out and walked a few sandroads. The one thing I really...

Thanks to Woodjin and Largo, Sarah and I had a wonderful South Jersey weekend. We drove down Friday night and had dinner with some friends who just moved to Mays Landing. They live just off of Route 40 in a development opposite the Mays Landing Diner. After that we headed to our hotel in...

So you know those crazy offers you get for timeshares where you go and listen to their pitch and if you turn it down you get something free? About 6 months ago I did just that and after they browbeat me and got somewhat nasty I walked out with my voucher for two free nights at a Marriott...

I am the proud new owner of a 2003 F-350 Powerstroke! I just picked it up yesterday after a lot of searching for the "right" truck. I'm looking forward to bouncing over some sugar sand soon and testing the four wheel drive. Of course she'll be fed a steady diet of biodiesel once the weather...

Researchers at Michigan State University are growing soybeans and corn on old industrial brownfield sites with a twofold benefit: Growing crops for biofuel production, and cleaning up the soil in the process. Sounds like a winner to me. The city of Trenton alone (the revitalization of which is...

Pretty amazing guy, certainly an influential and active resident of the pines. http://obits.nj.com/trenton/Obituaries.asp?Page=Lifestory&PersonId=86363960

So my girlfriend and I are harboring delusions that we might actually be able to afford a house in New Jersey on our meager federal government and schoolteacher salaries-what better way to shop for a town to live in than Google Earth! I was looking at this piece of land bounded by Ridge Road...

Yesterday I helped a buddy and his fiancee move into their first house in Mays Landing. They live just off of Route 40 near Lake Lenape. Now I have a new base for real South Jersey exploration :dance: I gotta get me a GPS...

Ok so my Dell laptop is going on 5 years old, which may as well be eons in computer time. It lived through college and many a beer spill on the keyboard, being banged around, etc... It now makes a weird beeping noise on startup, the battery is totally shot, and the fan is broken so the thermal...

Ok, I've never alluded to my profession before so here goes...I work for a member of Congress in the member's district office. I don't really like to make much mention of it or who exactly I work for because I wouldn't want my views or words to be seen as my boss' words in a public forum...

Someone passed around an e-mail at the office called "You know you're from New Jersey if," with all the references to guys named Tony, big hair, and Bon Jovi, so I thought we could compile a list of South Jersey stuff. Here are a few I thought of... You give people a dirty look when they...

I think this might be the answer to my prayers! I wonder how pricey it will be though. I know you guys seem to be Garmin fans-does anyone on here use a Magellan? http://www.magellangps.com/products/product.asp?segID=391&prodID=1750

I'm just curious to see, realistically, what people's perceptions are about the "typical" Democratic voter. I feel as though I'm often on the defense about my political choice when a conversation is steered toward the elections in everyday discourse with friends, co-workers, etc... So I ask...

I'm asking this in the forums out of pure laziness. I've decided that I need a GPS unit...which one to get? I like the idea of having an in car unit that I can use for directions instead of printing out a map or having to ask someone. However, once I need to leave the truck behind I want to...

I decided to take Largo's advice and clear my head with a ride through Collier's Mills after work. It's amazing how much ground there really is there. I've decided I'm going to make it my mission to inspect every last square inch of it. Provided that the ENTIRE town isn't underwater, there...

Ben was right...meh... The festival reminded me of Columbus Farmer's Market on a Saturday. About 70% of the vendors are supporting the Chinese economy by offering worthless trinkets. That being said, we did have a nice day. We ended up parking quite a ways away because we got there...

Ok so the girlfriend saw the Cranberry Festival last year on Food Network so now we're going this weekend. I did a search for posts and found a few that said it was a little on the cheesy side, but I'm hoping that its a nice day and that the band is good. I missed the Jamboree because I had to...

Since I missed it last year I really want to go this year and bring the girlfriend. According to the website there are going to be video presentations about Jersey shore/Pinelands history, and "music of the pines." Has anyone heard of Valerie Vaughn, Gary Struncius, or Debbie Lawton? They are...
