The folks living along the shore don't want wind turbines. A lot of the people here on the thread appear to have aesthetic objections to the solar panels. Another whole thread is dedicated to stopping natural gas. I'm curious how many of you are getting ready to turn your air conditioners on this summer?

It's amazing they could do it without ANY public scrutiny. 240 watts. That doesn't go very far.

I hope they have a logical explanation for this, if not who can I write to ?

Believe it or not, one of the first things that attracted me to Jersey City was the sound of the trains, and it wasn't the whistles, it was the sound of the wheels squealing around those old curved freight tracks under the Turnpike Extension.

I visited a friend about 16 years ago when she lived on Eighth Street near the back of HamPk (a couple of blocks from those tracks), and it was summer, so she had all her windows open. The "squealing" sometimes sounds more melodic and drawn-out, like whale song, and it did that night.

A couple of years later, I moved into the same apartment building where she had lived before.

I still like to hear the trains singing.

I can even hear the PATH's gentle lowing once and a while, from about eight blocks away, but it's usually on a very quiet night, and usually it's on a cold night.

Yeah nobody liked good old JC. I on the other hand was always a proponent of JC even in her darkest days. (JC love it or leave it! Sadly most of my close friends did..leave it) But I will confess this sin to you all. Living in JC in the late 70?s early 80?s was not cool to some especially the chicks. Do you know what it was like to finally get a nibble in the summertime down at the Guido infested Jersey Shore only to lose the precious catch? When I opened my mouth and said I was from Jersey City in my best JC accent I lost the catch hook, line, and sinker. Devastating! (you burb girls err I mean your mother?s were cruel back then)

When I changed my address to Chatham or Basking Ridge I was fine. (thank God it wasn?t my looks after all!!) Although do you know how hard it is to try and cover up a JC guy saying beer? I almost got busted a few times. ? I?ll have two beeeeeeer?s please?. I never asked for a second date for a Saturday it always had to be on a Sunday I was too afraid my Satday would slip out. ?Hey how about we go out again on Satday night? ..ahhhhhh.

What I'd like to know is do these CSX cars travel along the proposed pipeline route?

If so, the proposed pipeline route is simple madness.

What an awful story. Likely, Settle is not locked up anymore. He was convicted and sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. I found this excerpt:

March 5, 1995
A man was convicted Friday of throwing a bowling ball off an overpass and through a windshield, killing an 8-month-old girl. Calvin Settle, 19, was found guilty of manslaughter and could get up to 10 years in prison at his sentencing April 7. Settle contends the ball fell out of his hands, but two younger boys who were with Settle at the time of the accident say they saw him heave the ball off onto the roadway deliberately.

stop projecting your paranoia on a good business.

On a good business? Are you out of your head? Any place too lazy to even clean the sh!t out of their shrimp is a dumpster fire I wouldn't ever crawl into. Feel free to eat your dirt and decaying bits of plant and animal in your meal, I'll be spending my money and time at places that don't include that crap on my plate. I'll also certainly spend free time bashing a place as crappy as that to anyone who will read.

They also claimed they don't have to clean the shrimp, which is incorrect for shrimp of that size.

They did "answer" the question about going thru the water... from a prior reply in this thread:

Quote:

i think the argument was based on the contention that the horizontal drilling approach that they were able to use elsewhere would not work under such a wide body of water because they would not have sufficient number of drilling spaces. yet, they also made the statement that in fact, they are disallowed from crossing the 2 path tubes and the holland tunnel tubes.

Whatever that means... ::shrug::

They were the low-cost bidder because they chose the land route - putting their profits ahead of your safety. It really is that simple.
