Yeah, cranberries get several species of worms that eat both berries and plants, including gypsy moths. I think they can also get weevils. I think the most common insect pests are the type that can be contolled with baculovirus, a virus that kills a narrow spectrum of worms (so that it won't...

Wouldn't the 2008 model be different than the 2005 model?

Ooh, nice shots! We have not taken the boats out in the winter, you are inspiring me. Thanks for sharing the photos. :)

Must be such a bummer to work all that time and have the tree fall the wrong way!

Sure. And microbes, too.

I always thought this was an interesting assertion. Every species has a purpose to benefit what? Us? It's all a matter of fitting into a niche. I wouldn't say every species has a purpose, but I would say that they're around because they've found a way to survive, grow and reproduce.

Yeah, they keep the pesticide companies afloat. :)

You should probably Frontline him if you don't already. There are some icky tick borne diseases that cats can get.

Or klansmen! Yeeks. Now THAT would be scary.

So will you tell us what it was?

You took my answer!

LOTS of juvenile fish and cone snails, horseshoe crabs, starfish, sponges and barnacles. I tend to like the teeny things, the little tiny blennies that hide in crevices and shrimp. The RR bridge is covered and teeming with life. If you are a macro photographer, it's a great spot. I went there...

Finding them wasn't a problem! I went out on several dives but the boat captain would never let me dive because I tend to pass out when I am seasick. I am a champeen puker! :dance: Last time I went out, I almost made it, I stood up to walk toward the edge of the boat when I passed out cold...

We have vests that fit over our coats and orange hats.

There isn't, but wear blaze orange on Sundays anyway.

Ed, that is really cool, I didn't know there were other divers here. I am very envious of your dive adventures in NJ. I've made many attempts to see some of the wrecks here but have never succeeded, I am sorry to say, because of my little seasick problem.

That makes sense. One has to maintain one's sense of decorum and all. :)

Can you enter specific coordinates into the TomTom?

The more I hear about the Nuvi, the more I want one.

And shipments are checked for insects and plant/animal materials that can be infective, and pretty carefully. It's obviously not a fool proof system though. Dutch elm disease was accidentally introduced via some lumber. It's just becoming a smaller world, and a local problem is more and more...
