    Electric company telemarketing calls

    Mind games being used on us. Comcast is a master at it, and so Verizon is getting good at it too. Until we have a true cafeteria menu to select from at will, we are being manipulated by service providers. The only cure for this is either regulation or more competition, and the competition may be...

    Electric company telemarketing calls

    Up here we can get the actual power (not the infrastructure maintenance & power delivery) from a company other than JCPL. I am getting mail (not calls) because they think my last contract was up. Lowest price offered so far for generation service is from North American Power at 8.99 cents per...

    DEP Releases New Wildlife Action Plan

    It puts me in mind of a cobra, the way it's body moves with it's head up. I don't like fooling with them.

    Where is this?

    It sure does. It looks exactly like it, right? :D

    Where is this?

    No, but that's a good guess. This field is next to a hard-surfaced road.

    Where is this?

    It may seem a stretch, but I really think someone will nail this location down. This is a wonderful, vast field of Andropogon virginicus, which is a variety of bluestem grass.

    And if you get one on the return trip, you have your vegetables prepackaged!

    Actually, a play. He is racist in here. Probably not in character with the times as they were in 1910.

    Hunter shot, injured in Maurice River Township

    Say, don't you have a bushel of apples, corn, and pumpkins to set out in front of your stand? :)

    Firebreak Permit Proposal

    There are firebreaks in the pines already. We call them sand roads. If you want a firebreak wider than 6 feet, get a permit.

    Island Beach

    Well, let's consider the piping plover, which breeds on LBI. They are protected strenuously, even to the point of surrounding the eggs/chicks with fencing. That I agree with, though it could be considered babysitting. But what I don't like is the mad dash every year to surround the young and tag...

    Closing West Mill Road

    I hope the sound of shotguns being fired into the air (in anger) are heard in Trenton.

    Island Beach

    Well, it is a beautiful bird. When seen, it often quickens the pulse and delights the heart. Nothing wrong with that. Building boxes likely became just a symbol of doing something for the environment.
