Recently I have been suffering with ear congestion and fluid, and my doctor told me to get Sudafed. But thanks to a new addition to the facist Patriot Act, you can no longer buy psudophedrine over the counter. Many drugstores don't carry it at all, and those that do, require a driver license...

Yeah they all look the same to me. :v: I don't think they were wild chickens though, must've "flown the coop" I guess.:siren:

Route 58 in Riverhead used to be undeveloped not even 10 years ago, the only stores were a few shopping centers around the circle north of downtown. Now they have Tanger Outlets, Best Buy, Home Depot, and lots of other junk. And the result is this. Coming to a town near you...

Yeah I posted a thread about it awhile back, and someone corrected me and said it was a turkey vulture, which I realize is what I saw.

These look more like farm turkeys, but they were loose in Ridge in someone's driveway!

You can watch it on the net too http://www.pinebarrens.org/video-stream.asp All I can say is I can see why Mr.Amper had to give it to Steve Levy. Suffolk's county exec thinks because he is preserving twice as much as his predecssor, it makes him the almighty. But Suffolk is falling far short...

Umm...that's My Photo :siren: :siren: :siren: He took it from my Westhampton dwarf pines gallery...

Can you believe this?:siren: Despite concerns over its potential impact on the core Pine Barrens area, a proposal by local resident Thomas Muller to create a new exit on the Long Island Expressway and run a two-mile bypass through Pine Barrens woods to County Road 111, south of the "main...

Here on Long Island, anyway. Route 51, one of my favorite roads, runs through unspoiled "wilderness" from the campus of Suffolk Community in Riverhead and down to Montauk highway. Unfortunately a significant portion of these pine barrens, south of Sunrise highway, are going to be torn down and...

I've noticed that they have compost dumps in various places in the LI Pine barrens. The smell from the one in Manorville is quite strong, makes my lungs burn. I wonder how this can be allowed in the central pine barrens, and once again, the Pine Barrens society seems totally inactive when it...

I know this may be far from the quiet peace of the pines, but I feel it is important to bring this up. Where were you on Septemeber 11, 2001? I was just waking up, in a rather difficult time in my life since I had lost my mother the year before and just trying to adjust. I didn't have cable at...

It is getting much worse here on Long Island. Recently I walked along Wading River Hollow road in Ridge, which seems to be a dumping ground for all sorts of garbage. It seems to be mostly bags of rubbish left by landscapers and tequila bottles left by illegals living in the woods. Here are the...

Not to mention how they've ruined many communities here on Long Island, like Farmingville, which used to be a nice peaceful community. Now it's plauged by gang crime, overcrowded houses, and groups of 100 or more "day laborers" who clog the roadsides. I'm sick of people calling them immigrants...

Another interesting article in the Pine Barrens Society Newsletter about the Eastern Hognose snake, which is very rare to see in our pine barrens. If we were to step back in time, say a hundred years ago, we[/I] would find a Long Island much different from the one we see today. We would...

He's mentioned in a recent newsletter exactly what I've been stating all along...the developers want neither open space or affordable housing. Here on Long Island, "McMansions" are popping up everywhere, and developments are set up in such a way to encourage as much car use as possible...

Along the Peconic, through the Calverton woods...

Some photos from the 5 mile stretch of Hampton Hills road, which serves the Hampton Hills CC and Sarnoff DEC Preserve.

I braved the pine flies (which really attacked me on the trails) to visit the small ponds near Lake Panamoka.

I know it's not the Pine Barrens, but there is an environmental crises going on in the wilderness in the southwestern United States, near the Mexican border. Illegal aliens are using the trails as routes and leaving behind mounds (and I mean MOUNDS) of litter. This is happening on a smaller...

Sorry I can't put Broadwater in the same boat as McMansions and Strip Malls. Maybe if we allowed Shoreham to operate we wouldn't have to look at a Broadwater or Offshore wind mill. The land preservation purchases are great but they still don't address the root of the problem which is enacting...
