Indeed. And parodied in one of my favorite movies of all time, UHF (which also does not technically have the line correct, but it's just a gag):

Maybe they'll pass a new law that requires an attendant to plug my car in for me by that point. And then the new bumper stickers will say "Jersey girls don't plug in" or something like that :)

I say keep the law the same, it's less of a genuine concern and more of a Jersey badge of honor at this point. It will be increasingly irrelevant as we (slowly) shift toward EVs anyway.

I haven't done this myself but I think all you do is submit a request for interlibrary loan (ILL). BCLS has an online form for it. Or I'm sure a librarian would help you in person. Is the report you're after up at the state library in Trenton or something? Or just a different local library system?

I can definitely see why a location scout would pick Evergreen. It has a very distinctive, retro look with the wraparound diner counter and the angled glass. There's even a jukebox. Shyamalan films are guaranteed stinkers but I'll still scan through this one for the locally filmed scenes after...

One of those things I always spent a lot of time looking at on Google Earth.

Ow, that looks painful...be careful out there. Any idea what species of snake that is? Beautiful coloring. I just watched this presentation on the 18 species of snakes in the pines a few weeks ago, but it's not immediately obvious to me which of these it could be. Looks like a juvenile and I'm...

What's the most plausible scientific reason for there to be a hole that deep in the middle of a small creek? Or is this more common than I realize?

Oh, wow, this is amazing! Thank you so much for this post. It looks like this business exists for exactly what I'm trying to do. I will get in touch with them for sure. Can't thank you enough!

A few landscape selections from the past few months... Some neat textures in a sand quarry. Technically just outside the borders of the Pinelands National Reserve, but a familiar view from the top of a nearby hill. Maybe the best looking lighthouse in the state at the moment, while Old...

Same thing here - golf ball sized hail (and larger). My car got a couple of new dents. Luckily no broken glass though.

I have absolutely seen chiggers in the pines - at least, here in the Medford area. Or, what I always thought were chiggers. They're very very small, and bright red. I was bitten up pretty bad once, years ago. All over the ankles and the top of the feet. Some of the most incessant itching I've...

Ah this is fantastic, thank you. Very glad to hear.

I was out in the Speedwell side of the Parker Preserve early this morning, taking some pictures along the Wading. It was a great morning, the only detraction being clouds of mosquitoes and the green haze of pollen in the air. After that I made one more stop; I pulled into the parking lot at...

Some critters as well:

Local flora from the past few months out in the field... Had to do some research here - these are called swamp beacons, Mitrula elegans:

Not the greatest conditions for photography :/

I would absolutely love to find some of these to photograph before they're gone - I know that window is quickly closing. There was a great episode all about pink (among other things) featuring NJCF biologist Emile DeVito on the most recent Pinelands Podcast, which is fantastic. Obviously I...

I checked out The Book Garden yesterday on the way back from Cars and Coffee up in Millstone. Unfortunately, they did not have a copy of Sign Posts, but it was still a great place to check out. The couple who owns the store were very friendly; one of them knew exactly what I was talking about...

Added to list of places to check out, thanks!
