I think Tom painted what could be the worst case scenario. The economic crisis is affecting the world now. Iceland is teetering on bankruptcy. The UK bailed out two banks today. It's not just us, so as the American dollar slips, the Euro, the Yen, etc. will drop too. Maybe not as much, but it...

Must be nice.

Commodities (gold, oil, aluminum, etc.) are dropping. A few days ago Alcoa announced that they were closing a smelter because it wasn't cost effective due to the dropping price (and demand) for aluminum. Oil, as we know, is back under $100. It'll stay there for a while. The oil producing...

The Batsto Fair is always a treat. I may start going to the Whitesbog fair too.

I suppose one of the hardest things is to wake up each day and see nothing but bad news everywhere you turn. I can hardly read the APP.com site because all I hear about is how corrupt our local politicians are. I read cnn.com and see how much the rest of the world hates us, how the global...

I work in technology. I was hit badly by the .com bubble popping in 2001. I'm afraid of something like that happening again, even though there's no tech bubble now. I don't know how most people live in New Jersey. We're a single income family, which I guess is a rarity now. I can't imagine...

My 401(k) is down 20%. Not that I care, I hopefully have another 35 years before I retire. Still, I make decent money and still never feel like I can get ahead. I have a 1200 sq ft. ranch in Brick Township of all places, with $3200/yr in taxes and still can't seem like I can get ahead. Meanwhile...

So, given that the economy is turning to crap right now, how worried are you about things? I wrote this in my blog last month, and I only see the situation more dire today. How many of you are worried about your jobs? Your houses? I haven't been able to sleep without taking a tylenol PM...

I have a wedding to go to so I won't be there. I will be at the Country Living Fair. The jury is out on the Cranberry Festival.

Speaking as someone who is an absolute outsider to the "pineys" (I grew up in Monmouth County) from what I have seen, people are proud to be pineys. I've met old timers and new timers and they all seem happy -- happier I would say than most other people I run across. I've seen Fred Browns...

I don't know, Sue. How many "pineys" would be seen using a computer or writing a book? Categorizing a bunch of people is risky business.

Generally the park would have more challenging terrain and be a safer place to ride. Also, you wouldn't have to worry about getting caught.

If only they could ride at Chatsworth... I am sure this is the beginning of more ORV damage in the Pine Barrens. Thanks, NJCF!

Oh, that may be Laura Leuter's group.

Morons like this only make it easier to justify keeping ORV's off state land.

I would have been terrified of the chiggers going into that building. I don't know if I could have resisted, though.

I did not see it.

I LOVED that book.

I've been listening to Elton John a bit more recently. I don't know if any of it would be good woods music for me. I actually like driving around in silence a lot of the time.

Thanks!
