To everyone on the forum, Merry Christmas. I think the radio stations have gotten the message in the past couple days; stop playing all those junkie Christmas song that new "stars" are singing to try and align themselves with the Christmas song stars of the past. Glad to hear the standards in...

Free, if you want it. Must either pickup, or create a secret service drop box or meet-up somewhere. I enjoyed it, but most of the history was in NY. Lots of superstitious dutch and germans up that way in the mid to late 1600's. Several quite funny stories. A survey party from philly was sent up...

Looking for the rare doowallaby sedge. Never did find it.

Big time extra credit if you recognize the plant.

I found the geological explanation in this link very interesting. He does a great service to New Jersey citizens by his interesting and knowledgeable interpretations. https://written-in-stone-seen-through-my-lens.blogspot.com/2015/01/big-brook-new-jerseys-classic-late.html

A couple years ago I posted a photo of one of the clay mudholes on the road in back of the tower. It covered the entire road. Now, not so much, but the water is still there, and still evident in all the clay holes on that road. I went back very far today. Here is that hole again. There are a...

In Guys article about dirt bike riding, another article was mentioned. If it is true as written, if I were the father I'd sue that coach so quick his head would spin...

Yesterday was a good day to be outside. Temperature and sunshine perfect. I decided to go to "one" of the sources of the Mullica, just west of route 73 in Berlin. See Purple line below. The original source here may have been just on the other side of the tracks, but that has been lost to the RR...

Interesting. Never noticed it before. Quite a mass for this area (used Boyd's lidar)

I never knew this. They kind of hide it from people. https://www.njta.com/media/SeniorDiscountForm.pdf

Got my first cataract removed yesterday. The rest of the day I was moping around because if felt like a cat scratched my eye. Anyone else go through this?

Some people think they can play God for fun and profit. This is a free article. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/us/montana-man-giant-sheep-sentence.html?unlocked_article_code=1.O04.Vx28.WMgsJigLcIH-&smid=url-share

Boyd, did you say at one time that the parcel aerial has the 2007 aerial as background? I'm losing resolution when I use the parcels. Is that something you can adjust? Below, the top is without parcels, the lower is the parcel aerial set. Not a real big deal unless it's something easy to do.

I walked up on this in an open pine grove yesterday. I looked around like, who put this here? No other bones. Looks like a 10 pointer. I don't know how common that is in our Pine Barrens.

I bought some of those 25% Deet wipes. Never used them before, but I'm wary about the mosquito situation now at my age. So, I used just one each for the last 3 plant surveys. But even with one wipe, I was personally wiped out by 4 in the afternoon. I'd put the cell alarm on for a 15 minute nap...

When I cross 73 moving WNW on Braddock Mill road, and I want to turn left onto Kresson-Gibbsboro road, why is this big square with the X greeting me. Am I not allowed to turn there? That is one funky intersection.

This pitch pine could not wait for a branch to throw out a cone. He was proud, so threw one out before the branch. First time for me to see this. Hovnanian Preserve.

Hope I spelled the state and insect right. Anyway, this sounds serious. I wonder why NJ has not had a problem like this. This can be read by anyone. https://wapo.st/3XgA6vU
