Heard some rumors about this, so I decided to take a ride up and see for myself. There is a sign on the Newark Watershed permit office that they are closed until further notice. Bad news. The summer camp at Echo Lake is still operating. More updates as they become available… If you have any more information on […] I find that it is pretty rare that I see a Dodge Viper.  Rarer still is to see one crashed on Route 46 East in my town like I saw last night on my way home.  He was facing backwards, and there were long skid marks leading up to the wreck, so who knows how […] Today I saw Batman’s Tumbler vehicle in the back of a semi-trailer, headed south on Route 287 in Riverdale, NJ. According to the website on the side of the trailer (www.tumblertour.com), it was on its way between appearances in Montreal, Quebec and Columbus, Ohio. Pretty neat. I was at the Rockaway Townsquare Mall today when a supercell thunderstorm passed over the area. The skies went from blue to the worst thunderstorm I have seen outside of a hurricane/tropical storm, to blue again in about 25 minutes. The mall lost power, people were screaming and running for shelter, the parking lot flooded, […] I have been running into some of our local wildlife recently, here are a couple videos: A juvenile black bear on Oak Road in Boonton Township, New Jersey

The Columbia Trail is an old railroad right of way which has been converted to a mixed-use trail. The trail winds its way through the Ken Lockwood Gorge. On my […] So, I am a New Jersian who frequently travels to Manhattan for both business and pleasure. Â Due to the difficulty of traffic and parking in New York City, I prefer taking mass transit, so improved rail access to the city is something which I support. Â When Governor Christie cancelled the ARC tunnel project, I was […] Rockaway Township’s mayor, Louis Sceusi says that the closure of the Splitrock Reservoir parking lot was a last ditch effort to get the state involved in cleaning up and policing the area. Â He also says it is working. Â Read more. |

Goodbye Bagels-4-U of Denville; We'll Miss You
… not even a note goodbye.
Today, my wife needed to be in the city for work, so after dropping her off at the train station, I stopped for a bagel at my normal spot, Bagels-4-U of Denville. Â They usually open at 5:30 and by now it was about 7 am, so when I […]
