I have been having problems with my right ear, with a stuffy feeling ear, not much pain. I have been sneezing alot too with some congestion. It's not a cold though, but I did have a cold a couple of weeks ago. I did the whole peroxide in the ear thing, doesn't help. It's probably allergies. Some...

Unleashed dogs are a problem everywhere, and no one does anything about. If that were me or my wife (if I had one) I'd definately be getting the police involved. Also I wouldn't have her travel without pepper spray or another device to defend herself, there are plenty of animals out there, of...

It was all sleet here on Long Island, some rain mixed in on the east end. Either way the trails are gonna be a mess for a while. 4-5 inches of this concrete, it's impossible to move. I wanted snow, but yet again we got socked with more ice.

Yikes, talk about bad luck!!! You should sue the owner of that dog. Loose dogs always scare me, the minute I see one I slowly move away so it dont notice me. But on the ice, making a getaway is impossible. Another reminder I should be getting that pepper spray. I hope your wife is OK, hopefully...

This was world's warmest recorded winter-US govt WASHINGTON, March 15 (Reuters) - This has been the world's warmest winter since record-keeping began more than a century ago, the U.S. government agency that tracks weather reported on Thursday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration...

Getting sucked up by rich ppl: More billionaires in the world Reuters TASTE OF SUCCESS: Starbucks founder Howard Schultz is a new addition to the Forbes magazine list of the world's wealthiest people. His $US1.1b only put him in 840th place though, with Bill Gates still No. 1 with $US56b...

On the final portion of this hike I travel on the narrow Paumonok Path, west, through some pretty dense piney woods. The only sound you could hear is the wind whistling through the trees. We grow our pines tall in Flanders! It's a dense sea of pine as I start nearing route 24. Looks...

Sears-Bellows county park is yet another one of those amazing places in the pine barrens. This probably has the nicest "kettle" ponds of anywhere, and they are large too, in warmer seasons people take their boats out and fish. Certainly this day wasn't the day for it though! Taking these...

On Tuesday, probably the coldest day all winter, I took a long 10 mile hike through various preserves in Flanders,NY. This is in the heart of the Long Island Pine barrens. I started at Red Creek Park, and this is the 1st part of the journey. I started at Red Creek Park, which is a developed...

Other than editing it out in photoshop.:guinness: But it gets pretty difficult on days like yesterday, where contrails were just covering the sky.

They are solved because contrails only form when it's cold and moist, it has to be real cold. By having planes fly a little lower, the exhaust wont condense into clouds. The drawback is more fuel is used. Perhaps there is a way to design planes that dont cause contrails. There's just too many...

As someone who likes to photograph nature, it is important to keep the setting as natural as possible, without having many "man-made" objects. It is especially important for photographing ponds. I was going to head out to some ponds in Ridge yesterday, it was supposed to be a sunny day with...

McMansion development is rampant in Brookhaven Town. For example what used to be a nice view off Rock Hill in Manorville, is now ruined by McMansions. Ex-Foley backers ready to pull support A group of onetime supporters are set to attack Brookhaven Supervisor Brian Foley at a news...

Just another reason why using illegal labor is good for no one...except for the employers.They make so much money off using illegal workers they can afford to pay fines and still buy a new Hummer H2 each year. Fines aren't enough, they need to throw the folks that run these companies in jail...

One of these days I have got to get to Forked River Mountain!

Didn't realize mulch was so flammable, yikes! Maybe they shouldn't use it near buildings anymore.

Not so much damage to the trees. At least in the pines, because it was actually above freezing. Thats why I thought there wouldn't be ice. But what happened was it got cold real fast after the rain stopped, and the trails weren't able to absorb it because they were frozen, so the water froze...

I did, and I kinda regretted it. I was out in the Manorville Hills area, and the ice was absolutely awful. All the trails were very slippery, and the wood roads were a sheet of ice. I don't see how any vehicle could make it through there. I slipped many times, fell 4 times, fortunately I had...

I heard that down in southern & central NJ alot of folks are without power, so I guess that's why the forums are so quiet tonight. Hope you guys stay warm tonight!:bear: JCP&L says over 40,000 are out. Luckily we didn't get hit as hard, only about 4,000 outages here.

For 2 weeks in a row on the Discovery channel they say "all new Mythbusters at 9pm on Wednsday". So I tune in, only to find yet another repeat. Isn't false advertizing illegal?
