It's hard to tell from your sentence if you mean it's not done anymore period or not done anymore only with modern diesels. I assume the latter. Every day on New Jersey Transit, you see diesels going long hood forward. They've been threatening to finally replace these old locomotives ("Geeps,"...

I used to go by it on the way to golf at Green Lakes. Always thought of it as a driving range rather than a place to ski but I was purely x-c back then. Downhill was for rich people! 🤠

When the Giants were winning 26-8 with six minutes left (a 99% likelihood of winning), I wondered if they were going to put in Russell Wilson during garbage time so Dart could rest for the Eagles!

Hey CK, apologies for taking 2.5 years to follow up on your post; however, I recently ran across a 2019 obit for Ken Lane (on the right in the pic below), who joined us on the 2015 hike. He would've been 91 at the time of his passing. His brother Ben Lane (on the left) appears to still be...

Can you post a pic of it? Curious to see what you're using.

Is that ^^ Taylor Ham? I don't eat meat but as a NJer, I'm fascinated by it -- hopefully they'll come up with a faux version for non-carnivores! Here's the alleged story.

For the record, I meant that the food arrangement was handsome, not the radioactive Fiestaware plate!

@gorgonzola: that's a handsome breakfast plate!

They'll stink up your fridge. I just keep them in a bag in a cold place, e.g. the garage, or a shaded spot (under my grill).

I stopped pulling bulbs years ago but one leaf per plant? Gimme a break.

As mentioned a year ago, picking them will result in a prison sentence.

Yikes, thanks for the heads-up. Glad I posted that pic! I'm clearly a fern novice. That's why I said above that they don't look like ramps I've seen. I know from the TV show Breaking Bad that Lily of the Valley is very poisonous, especially for children.
