Corruption Bust Update

So, it turns out that my barber went to high school with Pete Cammarano, putting me a scant two degrees away from yesterday’s corruuption busts! More Jersey small-worldness…

Huge corruption busts going down in Hoboken

So, Hoboken’s brand new mayor Peter Cammarano and dozens of other officials just got arrested for corruption!  It sounds like they have him dead-to-rights… even accepting $10,000 from an undercover operative last Thursday.

Riding the Sussex Branch Trail

Today, Sheryl and I did about a 12 mile bike ride on the Sussex Branch Trail starting at Kittatinny Valley State Park.  The trail runs along a portion of the right of way of the old Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad’s Sussex Branch.  The tracks were removed decades ago, and all that is left is […]
