Hey ! Aren't you older than me ?

The north certainly got it bad but homes along the southern shore towns in NJ, while not seeing elevations near 1% elevations, were still total losses. Which rings back to German's comment, Sandy was bad but not the worst.

I am a licensed land surveyor and I worked on several post-Sandy projects over the last few years preparing Elevation Certificates for damaged properties that were going to be rebuilt. Immediately after Sandy, our professional association hosted a seminar with FEMA reps; specifically to...

Agreed. Sandy's flood elevations didn't even reach calculated 100 year (1% annual chance) flood elevations in most areas.

You are truly blessed Bill. Not many people get to enjoy life the way you do at age 90. I can't even keep up with you ! See you Saturday at the youth pheasant hunt.

You can't believe the puzzled looks I get when I tell people there are no fire hydrants where I live. They can't fathom how fires are fought or where male dogs pee. :)

Went by at 6:30 this morning and all of the lights were on in the house. That is a good sign.

I was pleased with the turnout of kids yesterday. Mostly young kids under 10 'ish and surprisingly polite. And then this happened. A neighbor had a fire in their house, supposedly heater related. There were at least ten pieces of fire equipment, 5 police cars and the Forest Fire Service...

We always had Ohio Bluetips in the house and at my grandmother's house. Looks like they are still making them although they are not strike anywhere.

When I was a teenager and first worked in surveying we ate hot ham and cheese wrapped in foil almost every day off the exhaust manifold of a Chevy Suburban.

John, Bob had found somewhat comforting information that I read as well. It is on americanmushrooms.com Essentially, Hen of the Woods has no poisonous look-alikes. We all ate large servings on Tuesday and my son and I felt fine the next day. My wife on the other hand, felt crappy all day...

AC Press article http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/hammonton-residents-arrested-for-damage-to-apple-pie-hill-fire/article_1c3d226c-92cf-52a5-a622-ec9607da73ec.html I too was surprised at the age of the perps. I was also surprised that they are rotting in jail awaiting a hearing because...

Today I went down to visit a friend who offered me some Hen of the Woods. He has been piling them up the last few days and gave me several huge clusters. One was only cut a few hours before I got there. It is a delicious, wild treat. I sautéed the one that was cut today in butter and olive oil...

Nothing has made me feel both young and old at the same time than having a grandson. The whole time we were there yesterday I had visions of my two boys climbing the banks around the Lock's Bridge ponds, fishing and swimming in the Mullica. It is still hard for me to process that that was...

My wife and I took our grandson Luke for his first woods ride and Pine Barrens exposure today. Luke turned one a month ago and has been walking for about two months. He can really motor along now and I thought it would be a good time to start him in the woods. My daughter-in-law was a little...

Glad to see they are doing well. 6'er, have you ever been to Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays ? It's an old limestone quarry with several remnant buildings that you shoot through and around. Awesome place. I went there last year for a bachelor party for my friend's son. Good clean fun for a...

NJDEP says house cat. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/real-time/You-decide-house-cat-or-mountain-lion.html The mountain lion sighting stories continue to make the rounds each year in SJ. I don't buy it. They need to be absolutely 200% confirmed in PA and NY and then after allowing two to...

Isn't it scary to think that if the MAP went through as planned your route might not have been an option ? We took the Harley today and did a little looping around Elwood, Weekstown and Sweetwater area for fun and then shot across at the Pleasant Mills Church and parked in the grass right...
