    Ticks explode

    Recently someone sent me this natural flea/tick repellant recipe. I haven't tried it but it does sound interesting. Add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar and will be easily repelled by this ingredient alone...

    Pine Barrens unusual names

    There are plenty of locations, roads, etc. in or near the Pine Barrens with unusual names, and I would love to know the origin of these names. Some examples that I can think of are Ongs Hat, Purgatory, Penny Pot, Mount Misery, Sweetwater, and too many more to list here. Let's see who can...

    Parker Preserve Trail Out

    I remember walking those trails after the storm and there were signs posted at each end of the loop that Manumuskin took that day. It might just be that someone removed the sign at the far end of that loop so you would not know about the closure until you were upon it. Had Al started the loop...

    Parker Preserve Trail Out

    I'm not sure if this is related, but I think it was Hurricane Sandy hit that area hard and much of the trail was closed due to damage and possibly destroying some of the dikes also. Combined with the earlier rains it may have caused the problems. Just guessing.

    And even with the limited # of channels it seemed like there was always something worth watching!

    Dealing with Comcast

    I dread the thought of ever having to call Comcast due to the run around and the length of time it can take to fix their problem (they somehow think the problems are never theirs). I did have the triple play, only because it was cheaper than the double play but when that promotion was due to...

    FAA proposes to allow commercial drone use

    I guess it will not be long before someone begins using Drones to track deer for hunting purposes, I hope that is at least banned.

    Capewell Glass Negative Collection

    Thanks for presenting these photos! I enjoyed viewing all of them, and appreciate the hundreds of hours you must have spent to produce them. My Brother In Law especially enjoyed one of them, as he was a dead ringer for one of the hundred year old Ball Players pix you posted!

    Bald Eagle rescue yesterday

    I agree with Manumuskin on this one, I don't think that helping a wounded animal, especially one in short supply, should ever be considered as harmful or wrong. The analogy of using the old bottle does not really apply here, as one refers to removing from the environment, while the other is...

    Cable TV Problems

    I used the RCA ANT751 which is a 40 mile rated antenna. I am too far from NY so didn't look at other, longer distance antennas. This is an outdoor antenna, so installing in the attic it should last forever. I got it for $45, which I thought was worth it and it gets excellent reviews (from me as...

    Cable TV Problems

    One of my worse dreads is having to call Comcast and after having problems with them off and on for 35 years, I knicked the cable. I kept it for Internet, but kept the basic TV station bundle as it was cheaper to do that than just Internet alone! I put 2 antennas in the attic (didn't want signal...

    NBC40 fades to black

    I just installed an antenna in my attic. I can get 78 stations, some which are info channels and a few Hispanic channels, but I get the big 3 stations, fox,etc perfectly! One step closer to cutting the cable (except Internet)

    camping/canoeing with my lady

    You could camp at the Godfrey Bridge campground. I like the back area, site 26, 27 or 29 (there is a map here http://www.state.nj.us/dep/parksandforests/parks/wsf-godfrey-map.html) These sites are large and fairly private, and they have a picnic table and fire pit. Outhouses and pitcher pumps...
