    July 9, 1886 - When Atsion was taken hostage

    It's interesting that they are writing from Bridgeton, and in the article they say: "...the town of Atsion, near here...."

    Music for the day

    Scott, how'd you like to be at this performance with one of your cold, high alcohol beers and a whiskey chaser. I would, but I'd substitute tequila or brandy.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Interesting question. I have seen a lot of vegetation, so what you have is unusual. Deer? Or maybe you have sandy droughty soil and it sucked up all the rain and didn't save any for the plants.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    True, Cape May flora is looking like early October. Withering away. New Jersey's growth season is, in general, a furious and brief affair with the sun. April: peek-a-boo buds, little leaves, with a couple flowering gems to see. Sunlight is harsh with no leaves. May: Ramping up, green leaves...

    Here Scott, I'll meet you in the middle. Jeff Finlan, a very under appreciated singer. Jesus was a Motorcycle Man

    I'm sorry to see your cousin pass away John. I read the obituary. A fine man for sure.

    Special Honker Season Starts Today 9-1-25

    It's odd, that there was a gaggle of about 21 of those geese strutting around the pond and pooping in the roads and on the sidewalks here for almost 2 months while their young matured, but a couple weeks ago, I stopped seeing them. Now we have a green heron on one tiny Island and a few ducks...

    It's nicely paved now, no sign of the bridge at all.

    Where is the tail? Something is wrong, even though I zoomed in.

    That's great. It beats that convoluted way I have to go to Berlin area.

    Music for the day

    The first time I heard Crazy Horse with Neil Young, I was astounded by their guitar work. It's a delicous sound, raucous and unfettered. This song is from Neil's album 'Psychedelic Pill". Really good album, but you have to be in the mood for it. This song is long, beware. But, if you have a good...

    Egg Harbor River Kayak Trip

    Yes, could be that too. Monkey flower. I can't recall things that happened two days ago, but I think I was with you when I first saw that flower. Was it Pemberton, behind the now defunct college, on Rancocas Creek? https://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=MIRI

    Time Saver

    Your lidar on my phone helped me out of a jam yesterday. I was deep in the marshy woods of Bidwell Creek in Cape May County. I left the dim track that dated back many years to roam in between these ponds. Surrounding them was mostly swamp with tangled brush and briar. Normally, I'd set a line...

    Your Most Frightening Event In The Pine Barrens?

    I do recall that, maybe 25-30 years ago, Devil or Witch Worship meetings in the woods were a thing. I came upon at least one site where you'd say "well, maybe, but amateurish". Perhaps some 20-something people got the idea in their head to 'let's go out in the pines dressed up with painted...

    Egg Harbor River Kayak Trip

    Yes, this is too late for them, they are in seed now. I was thinking of this some more. I never canoed that river (I should), but I wonder if Wick was seeing the blue lobelia that should be in that area. https://www.npsot.org/posts/native-plant/lobelia-puberula/

    The only other one this time of year I can think of is purple loosestrife or Decodon verticillatus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lythrum_salicaria https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decodon_verticillatus

    Guy, are you thinking of the man hunting on the county line north of 72 opposite Coyle Field?
