Crabs? I found one in the ocean today. With my foot. Ow.

Interesting, I thought they had sprayed this year with Dimilin. Guess not. I wondered why we were seeing so many adult moths. I am guessing that costs a lot more than the Bt. It would be nice if the Bt would work, it's a bit more "green", but if it doesn't work, it's a colossal waste of money.

Yeah, wasn't the day perfect? I couldn't take my eyes off the blue sky and the poofy clouds. It was a fantastic day to be alive. :)

Pete. That cracks me up. I like it. It's a very good fish name.

Well slap me and call me Shirley. Judging from the shape of the anal fin, that looks like a piranha. The pacu has an anal fin that's more wavey. That's happened before, I recall a man catching one in the Delaware River in Bordentown about 15 years ago. They're sold regularly as pets to any...

Sorry to break it to you, but we have those here in the US, too. My cat had one last year.

Where did you get your hands on those postcards? It was interesting reading the back of the one, looks like Elbert was writing to his girlfriend.

You're welcome. :) Hey Jerseyman, awesome photos!

From what I have read, EVERYTHING was salvaged. Telephone poles, lumber, rails and rr ties, everything. Actually, the foundations and cooling buildings all look pretty much intact, if not a bit weather-worn. I was shocked at how many platforms and buildings that are left standing. the wooden...

Have a walk in the area. You can see some of the best ruins on the WMA. :) Unfortunately, there is a huge amount of garbage there, (why the heck do people use that for such a dumping ground, I do not know), but it's worth the trip anyway. There are still buildings and foundations there from...
