    Beer (again)

    Well, since hops are flowers, and everyone knows I like flowers, I'll give it a go!

    Controlled burn?

    I have a one word comment on those articles: Meddling: to interfere without right or propriety. :eng101:

    Controlled burn?

    Yes, my main concern is the rampant bulldozing and trenching, making things definitely "unwilderness" like. But, I am not a fan of prescribed burns either, UNLESS, they are to create a fire ring immediately around developments. Controlled burns will not maintain the pygmy forest in its current...

    Controlled burn?

    And I'm willing to listen to you Pete. I don't mean to be rude or upsetting. I'm sure you know your job and put your heart in it. I don't know much of the technical stuff about fire control and prescriptive burning. It's just that I have seen some damage done that didn't need to be, and I get...

    Controlled burn?

    Firetech, clearing around communities is good, say a circular ring or something like that. But in my experience, the fire service does not care at all about keeping the pine barrens wild, the way the Pineland Preservation Act meant for them to be. Their motto is, if there is smoke, get down...

    Controlled burn?

    There was an article in the local paper about the new "Hay Road" project out by Warren Grove. 200 foot wide swath of cutting, 4 miles long, to protect the dear seniors from big bad fire. If the fire service had their damn way, they would burn the pines to the ground and never allow another...

    Wind

    I was gonna say something about that. Friday(?) nite must have been really bad at Bamber on the lake. There are many big cedars down in that swamp immediately east of the lake. I saw a dozen. They all had a bit of rot, but they were all live and thriving in the top portion when they went down. I...

    Pine Barrens Book/CD Signing at the Sweetwater Casino

    Damn George, I peed my pants I was laughing so hard. You are a funny guy. I got home alright. I do want to say it was really, really fun. I'm glad I went. It was good seeing you, Lynn, Scott, Dottie, Guy, Audrey, Jerseyman, Relayer, Jeff, Claire, Ben, Laura, Barry, Everett Applegate, Lgench...

    Chatsworth Atv park

    You know, despite all my grumbling about not stopping people in the woods from doing bad things to the environment, I don't think I could stop my body from rushing into a school after a lunatic with a gun (or a church, or mall, wherever). I was really upset that during Columbine, the cops did...

    Oswego River

    Why you young whipper-snapper, you don't know what a real January is! Why, back in 73, the Oswego was frozen solid from Dec 1st through March 31st. Dry bag indeed!

    Beer (again)

    Well, you are entitled to your opinion Guy. But lets unpackage this a bit since you started to open it up. What kind of food do you eat? What is your favorite drink?

    Beer (again)

    Okay, sounds good. By the way, I forgot. When I was about 23 or so, I got hooked on Genesee Cream Ale, in the 7 ounce bottles. I drank that for several years. Was VERY smooth.

    Beer (again)

    I saw that at the liquor store. It's intriguing, but it has orange, so it caused me to pass it up. Still, it does look interesting--the white beer. http://www.hoegaarden.org.uk/whatisit.asp

    Beer (again)

    Heiny's taste a little green to me, and it isn't the bottle. Its like, I don't know....too strong. But, give me a warm summer evening in the woods in my truck, a lady at my side, and time to burn, and cold hiney go's well! I remember you giving me that Tom, but I forget the taste. That was...

    Beer (again)

    I had blue moon, but did not care for the "non-beer" taste. I should try some Pabst.

    Beer (again)

    Both! Not too hoppy (if hoppy is the bite) nor too sweet like a honey beer. What is that honey brew in the yellow/tan six pack carton? I used to drink a lot of that, but I'm not looking for a sweet beer.

    Beer (again)

    Gabe, You know that I like my Miller High Life. To my tastes, it is smooth and mellow, but with enough body to be considered "beer". And though your motto is "life is too short to drink cheap beer", I like it despite the low price. I was in the Liquor Store in Whiting yesterday, as I...
