    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    This is going to be an interesting week for weather, sunny tomorrow and then cooling way down with high probabilities of rain. The remnants of hurricane Debby are supposed to move through here later in the week, so we might be looking at lots of rain. Just heard it's expected to move slow and...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    It's moving out now, got some rain here, didn't seem like a lot. There are more storms down in Virginia and North Carolina that might find their way up here later tonight. But the heavy rain appears to be in Ocean and Burlington counties right now, this warning is currently in effect...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Just came in from a walk, the wind started blowing (felt refreshing on a hot muggy night!) and sky got dark here. No rain so far, it's all tracking North of me. There are some cells in Maryland headed my way though.

    Snake in my car!

    Only if he was wearing a ranger's hat and could talk. :D

    Snake in my car!

    Was thinking about this some more and it doesn't seem likely he was in the car since last Friday. I brought the empty garbage can back to the house yesterday in the car, am thinking was inside, came out and hid in the car while I drove back to the house.

    Snake in my car!

    Came home this morning after an errand and a drive on some back roads, shut the car off and looked on the passenger seat to find.... a small green snake! :eek: He looked out the door when I opened it but wouldn't go out on his own. Finally had to grab him and toss him out onto the grass. I don't...

    Origins of Pestletown

    This made me think of Jenkins Neck. :) https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/39.688689/-74.534380/legacy24k/0.00/0.00 I did a quick search of current USGS Geographic Name Information System (GNIS) data and only found these "necks" in Southern NJ. Seems to mainly be used on the Delaware coast today...

    Lock Your Vehicles

    Right. Telling the police that you're going to kill some people if they don't do what you want is always a good stategy. Hopefully you would succeed in resisting that temptation. :D

    Apple Maps Beta now available on the web

    Just read about this and had a quick look, didn't spend any time exploring. The article I read says that it only works in Safari, Chrome and Edge but doesn't work on Android. Still in beta, and is expected to support more browsers and platforms in the future...

    Cape May County Explorations

    Interesting. I know nothing about spiders, but there was lots of talk about them back when I lived there. Just found this... "In New York, bites attributed to brown recluse spiders are almost certainly from yellow sac spiders."...

    Cape May County Explorations

    I don't think it's a North/South thing, is it? I lived in Sterling, NY near Lake Ontario for many years. The brown recluse spiders were a problem there, with lots of stories about them, going back into the 1980's at least. I saw them a few times in sheds on my property. And the winters there are...

    Weird pine barrens images from new Photoshop AI feature

    So, that was just the default image that it created with no specific instructions from me. Here are three variations from the following prompt: "old bog in the new jersey pine barrens with a creek in the foreground winding off into the distance on the left" Or maybe this? :D "old bog...

    Weird pine barrens images from new Photoshop AI feature

    Looks a little like an overgrown orchard to me. As impressed as I am with the technology, this is pretty depressing. I'd think that was a real photo because (normally) there would be no reason to doubt it. Seems like those days are ending and now we need to be suspicious of everything we see and...

    Weird pine barrens images from new Photoshop AI feature

    Here's a real Friendship panorama that I took in 2016 I chopped off everything but this section in the middle And with one click (literally), photoshop generated a new panorama. There are probably some obvious clues in a higher resolution version, but I would believe that this is a real photo.

    Weird pine barrens images from new Photoshop AI feature

    How about this picture of Brooksbrae? Only problem is, more than half of it is fake. I took the picture below back in 2004. I put it in the bottom right corner of an empty frame and photoshop generated the rest with a mouse click. This really bothers me; sooner than anybody expected, we...
