Raccoons


Seems like a lot of wild animals have decided to accept urban life.
-
Growing up, I never saw deer, raccoons, turkeys, possums, even Canada Geese. Now these are common place. A large raccoon was across the street today, watching me and it was as commonplace as a loose cat.

Achieve Your Goals

Be grateful for what you already have.
_________
Declare what you would like to have with positive

emotion, feelling as if it is already achieved.
_________
Act on the nudges and opportunities that appear.
_________

Joe Vitale says that this is the easy way to achieve goals.

This seems pretty New Age, but it doesn't cost anything to try it and see if it works out.

Lobster Permit


Mike says that he would tend the traps if we got a 10 pot recreational license. If Ryan wants in, I'll do it, otherwise the time committment factor won't justify the investment.

Paramus, NJ


Paramus is in the center of Bergen County and lies astride Rt. 4, Rt. 17 and the Garden State Parkway; Exits 165 and 163 South; Exits 161,163 and 165 North. Surrounding towns are Ridgewood, Washington Twp., Rochelle Park, Maywood, Emerson, Oradell, River Edge and Fair Lawn. New York City is approximately 13 1/2 miles away.

The Lenni Lenape Indians gave this land its name. One of the earliest written versions of the name in 1708 called it Parames. Later it was referred to as Perampsus. Experts on the Lennis Lenape language say that Perampsus means literally "where there is worthwhile or fertile land". Where there was fertile land, maize or corn was grown and wild turkeys were also found in abundance. Thus, the meaning of Paramus..." A fertile land where corn was grown attracting wild turkeys".

All this time - traveling to Paramus - I never knew about the turkeys. We'll be making the trek Thurs. to see if the land is fertile once again for Darwin to sow some seeds.

Operation MoonShadow...
