NBC 10 Philadelphia ran the video clips several times this morning

There isn't much "NJ news" in southern NJ....Its Philly 3, 6, & 10

All in all, if I was moving, I'd commute across the state on Rt 80 and live in the Poconos. Another consideration is southern NJ. There are busses that leave every day from places like Mt Laurel that will put you in the port authority bus terminal in an hour and a half. My father retired a long time ago, but did that commute for years. EDIT - and they leave every 15 minutes-nonstops...free parking at Mt Laurel, commuter rates, and everyone snoozes on the bus.

http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Stabbing-Ex-Girlfriend-to-Death-Eitel-Bowne-306376251.html A man who police say stabbed and killed his ex-girlfriend outside her South Jersey home ended his own life. Michael Eitel, 45, was on the run from authorities since Wednesday night when police say he stabbed Carol Bowne to death in the driveway of her West Berlin, New Jersey home. Man Wanted in Ex-Girlfriend's Deadly Driveway Stabbing On Saturday afternoon, Berlin Township Police said that Eitel was found hanged in a shed behind his home. Carol Bowne, 39, and Eitel dated for some time after the woman's husband died in a motorcycle crash, but the hairstylist later took out a restraining order against the man after he became violent against her, according to authorities.

From the article: "Berlin Township Police Chief Leonard Check said Bowne applied for a gun license on April 21, and that she had inquired Monday about her request. The application process typically takes two months or more as police collect information on the applicant, including fingerprints and reference checks. "We did not get the fingerprint information yet," said Check." Sounds like the NJ "FID system" collectively has blood on its hands...

+ another one Ever since the primer supply tightened-up; I've used magnum and regular primers interchangeably. BUT - I am shooting Bullseye loads WELL under the max for .38's, so yeah, it will increase the pressure a little, but I don't care.

They are getting closer...but you do understand that, as with anything in life, you get what you pay for.... http://www.cheapham.com/alinco-dx-sr8t-hf-transceiver-memorial-day-weekend-special/ Truthfully, most folks starting-out in the HF side of amateur radio would be well-served by either a second-hand rig, or something like this: http://www.gigaparts.com/Product-Lines/HF-Radios/Icom-IC-718.html

and if you happen to be in the south jersey - Marlton area, stop by the South Jersey Radio Assn's Field Day operation at Savitch Field. We will be operating in category 6A - that means 6 transmitters operating simultaneously (plus a GOTA station, and we are also thinking VHF) More info, and photos from previous Field Day events: http://www.k2aa.info/basic-page/field-day W2MC

You're right....sadly, Patterson is a pretty good haul for those of us in south jersey...

Got a nice desktop deal....thanks for the heads-up!

Was just in there today (Friday before Labor Day)...they're still setting-up the place, but WOW the stuff he has! Was tempted by several items, but had to get back to work (stopped by over lunch). The owner and the couple of guys he had helping him were all very personable and more than willing to help, show you stuff, or just talk guns. I didn't even get a chance to look at the gunsmithing tools/equipment he was setting up. I'll definitely be back.

I dunno......after roasting in the sun last week (May in Orlando is still HOT) perhaps Florida might be a little TOO far south...

Congratulations! Hope to see you on the air soon! W2MC

Wonder how much it cost Bloomberg to get her on the list?

Yup - reading these is one of the reasons my ole Gold Wing sits parked. Not so much for my own benefit...but because of current responsibilities to my wife; she is slowly recovering from (motorcycle-unrelated) head injuries. We can't both be down.

Exactly. Its a game called Keep Away.

So when are you moving back to NJ.....?

The ground (and subsequently the incoming water) is still very cold. The recent warmer weather has also been accompanied by a lot of rain and humidity, causing condensation on the pipes. At my house, the tank on the toilet is doing the same thing, and dripping away on the floor of the bathroom. You can insulate the pipes, but you cant really insulate the toilet.

The parking thing is probably because of the summer crowd. A LOT of folks head to Atlantic City for the day during the summer, and if they didn't charge, their parking lot would quickly fill-up for the day with mini-vans packed with shoobies....they'd run thru the store, buy nothing, and leave their car there for 12 hours while they walked the AC boardwalk.
