I never met him, but it seems he had a real nice life with a good family. And living on the Mullica was a big bonus. God bless you Jim.

Yeah, that's severe.

Needs a real hot burn Guy!

All the meat was inside the links I posted. See the first link: https://www.state.nj.us/dep/greenacres/pdf/2021-notices-cjrpc-land-swap-report-figures-1-12.pdf https://www.state.nj.us/dep/greenacres/pdf/2021-notice-cjrpc-appendix-2-august-2020-maher-appraisals-report.pdf

I'm kind of okay with it, but it definitely is skewed on the clubs side. https://www.app.com/story/news/local/land-environment/2021/03/04/jackson-nj-central-jersey-rifle-pistol-club-colliers-mills/6902350002/

Guy, what is your source for all that about Birdsall and his "cut". Is that a magazine, newspaper?

Some interesting photos in there if you keep scrolling down.

Well, all petroleum is from plant life, so we're close enough. I doubt a forest fire would burn that deeply.

Oh yeah, it sticks around (pun intended). https://www.britannica.com/place/La-Brea-Tar-Pits

I would think so, right? Tar is just pine resin, no? Actually, the more I read the more complex it is. Heat being involved and all the changes.

I learned something in that one Al. I was puzzled as to why the tar would not simply lay on the ground in the pit and not move to the center. Now I realize the base is sloped towards the center, and the ground beaten hard with a clay covering. That prevents the tar from soaking in and just lying...

The Navy Jet sled track site. There were 5 sets of rails, and they'd fire up a jet engine and use it to fling a deadload on wheels at the arresting gear set up at the end. I worked there awhile. Think of a deadload weighing 65,000 lbs or more hitting the gear. One broke the cable one time, and...

Cool. Could "A" actually just have been a path at one time? It looks too narrow to be a road. How come the one I circled didn't interest you?

I get a kick out of that paper. This article below ran to at least 1,000 words, though I didn't count. Also, I disagree with those against this store. It's on 206 for cripes' sake, what's the big deal? They have 2 in Whiting, and very convenient...

Comcast dropped Norton's free service for PC, so I signed up for Norton. Have it on my Android phone too. Comcast wants you to rent a new modem that has their proprietary virus software on it. I opted to not do that.

I didn't realize it, but if you look at the comic strip at the bottom of this link, there was one, a neighbor. Different spelling though. https://britishcomics.fandom.com/wiki/Andy_Capp

So far, that's what I get out of it too. Ancestry has his child Anna born in 1845, the same year he married Ann. Martha may have died near that time. Ancestry shows a question mark about her date though.

What do you make of this Guy?
