    Music for the day

    I miss the Floyd laser light shows at Fels Planitarium. It was fun to go to the midnight show at the Franklin Institute. I don't know why the shows stopped. The planitarium was packed everytime we went.

    Study: Triple threat paints grim future for frogs

    I have a question - Has there been a study to find a baseline for the numbers of amphibians in New jersey or are there on going studies that work to produce a reliable "census"? I was curious how it is determined that populations are stable or on the decline. I am aware of groups such as DAPTF...

    From Marsh to Farm

    A great read! I found chapter five to be my favorite. A prairie in a marsh - a salt prairie. The farrier must have charged extra because of those wild looking horseshoes. Thanks.:)

    Winslow Junction and a steam locomotive

    Oji, that is a great video. The buildings across from the station are incredible.

    Winslow Junction and a steam locomotive

    I noticed that too. It is amusing. Some railfans can be extreme. Yikes is right!

    Winslow Junction and a steam locomotive

    I stumbled upon a nice, but short clip of PRR steam power in action. Buried in the middle of this video is a gem. Fast forward to the 2:30 mark and enjoy the action at Winslow Junction. The right of way is so clear and the bridge seen in the distance still exists. Enjoy...

    Building a Dam

    A simple fix would be to copy one of the water control structures that can be seen at any cranberry bog. The water depth can be controlled by adding boards or removing them. The wood structures aren't very complicated to build - several upright posts with boards slide into between them. If you...

    Federal Grant to Study Pond Ecology

    Thanks Spung-Man. Yes, my grandfather lived by Wilmington, North Carolina for most of his youth. Only after he was out of the service, did he decide to settle in New Jersey. In your link reminder, I enjoyed the descriptive term "slush" for a spung.

    Federal Grant to Study Pond Ecology

    Is a spung and a vernal pool the same? I have heard both names used to describe the same pocket of water- to add more to my confusion my grandfather referred to spungs as pocosins. Depending on the height of the trees surrounding such an area, he would either say it is a tall pocosin or a short...

    New Ford Bronco

    No Ben, that Samurai isn't custom built as Dogg57's link shows. They can be found for sale every once and awhile on Craigslist. They are rare. I don't know if Suzukis overseas come with a diesel, but a common engine swap is a diesel from a Volkswagon here in the US. There are many parts...

    Plan to keep NJ state parks open announced.

    Am I the only one who thinks this is obscene? Public land for private profit. It is going to become a huge mess and the first thing that will be lost is public access. I can already see the "This Area Closed" signs. Maybe privatizing the government that runs this state is a better idea, atleast...

    New Ford Bronco

    I always wanted a diesel Samurai pickup. Short wheelbase, torque of a diesel, and light weight... how can you beat it for exploring? A vehicle that is rare in the U.S.
