    A Letter Request

    Dear Heavenly Father, Please jiggle the Earth slightly, and send a string of sunny days next weekend. :cool:

    Mosquitoes

    Hmm. I remember 2001. Rainfall was about 10" below normal that year. Not only was I not bothered by skeeters, but pine flies were virtually non-existent. I have vivid memories of breezing through the pines that summer on my dual sport in the dusk, and it was wonderful....no bugs.

    Dang It!!

    I am so sorry Jeff! That 90 bucks would have been handy in your pocket this weekend. :(

    Around Atsion And Other Things

    In this case, as the streams overflowed, they picked up all the dead plant matter adjacent to the creeks. This can cause foam. Source: http://www.dec.state.ak.us/water/acwa/pdfs/fy05_arri_foamfactsheet.pdf Somewhere I read that Sweet Pepper Bush releases a lot of organic surfacants....but I...

    Around Atsion And Other Things

    Guy, if you zoom out from the corn fields, you'll note two things....one is that area is a MAJOR headwater source for the Batsto River. Secondly, you'll note why we are seeing more and more non-native plants along the Batsto. That area is polluting the Batsto with fertilizers, and probably...

    Walden, or Life in the Woods

    Well, lets consider. Suppose the owner of Sim Place were to say; "Hey, I've decided I'd like a caretaker living out there, and I'll let you build a place to live anywhere on the property" Hard to turn down, right? :D I'd have about 6 big dogs if I could still afford to feed em. You know...

    Walden, or Life in the Woods

    I sometimes I think it would only take a small push for me. Lately, more so.

    Mosquitoes

    I'm pretty sure these bothered me: http://www-rci.rutgers.edu/~insects/sp7.htm I had a weird thing happen to me on Sunday. You know how all of a sudden your throat and interior nasal passages get dry....and you just know that you are coming down with a bad cold? I got that followed by a rapid...

    Mosquitoes

    I spent last week on a vacation at LBI...Barnegat Light. In that stretch there are beautiful dunes between the house and the shore, as well as one freshwater marsh. After Monday, they were so bad near the marsh I had to run at times through their gauntlet, and they would follow me right to the...

    Non-essentials

    I agree with Jeff about those shows. The worst ones are when a skateboarder goes down a hand rail and either lands hard on his head or cracks his tailbone. The audience goes bonkers with laughter, because they are all bonkers--their cackling makes them sound like lunatics. And they are...

    Non-essentials

    The big question for me; how do non-essential "first-responders" end up at the scene of an accident anyway? http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/press/atlantic/ocean-county-woman-s-death-spurs-bill-that-would-restrict/article_1fdc9dfa-da9a-11e0-a77f-001cc4c03286.html

    Chatsworth General Store

    Can you broadly outline the procedure? If it involves bringing in some comparison sales, here in Bamber that would be tough in this market.

    Chatsworth General Store

    We definitely live in very strange real estate times. Frustrating. My house is taxed at $305K, was appraised a year later for a loan at $290K, and now I'm not sure I can even get $225K....and yet nobody at the tax office cares about that. Last week I got a letter from Allstate...."Dear Bob...

    Development in Mt Misery??

    PBX also went straight through there about 7 years ago on our trip Lebanon Crossing. We went 7 miles in a straight line from Gum Swamp Branch on route 70 to Pasadena Road. I'd say a long-ago abandonded development plan. It was surreal.

    Hurricane

    How did you ever find that site Guy? I'll be that beach is in a place like Rio. PS: that tree had no roots, no wonder it fell.

    Propane costs?

    Thank you sir. It was about 55 hours without power. The only time I was really complaining to myself was when I realized how clammy the house was without even the heat from the refridgerator motor. Started to feel like I was living in a cardboard box.

    Webster's Second

    I haven't hit one yet Gibby. Do you see the tissue paper between the photos in the second picture above? So far all of that is vitrually unwrinkled throughout the book, so this dictionary has been on the shelf most of its life--no college kids thumbing through it and writing.."I love Betsy" or...

    Webster's Second

    I had an appointment in another building where I work, and they had a dictionary in a stand....very old...1957 or so. I was pleased to find the genus of many plants inside, which is not easy to find today. Plus, there was something about it that Ireally liked. Just flipping through it was fun...
