End of summer arbor

Hard to believe I pruned the vines back to just stumps last winter. This represents just one years growth.

Bass River Night Hike: Lake Absegami

This post is about a week late, but last Saturday Gina and I went on a night hike at Bass River State Forest. Great experience, saw some Fowlers Toads as well as what appeared to be a wolf spider. Took a set of photos of the sun setting on Lake Absegami, a manmade lake created by CCC Camp members in the 1930s. Here tis:

Its a pretty big image, so check out its zoom.it for better detail.

At the Drive-In

So...

Gina and I went to the Delsea Drive-In in Vineland NJ on a mini date-night last night. Its the only venue of its sort in NJ, and one of only a couple in the tri-state area. I thought it would be more enjoying for the novelty, than the actual movie viewing experience, but was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable a movie can be when you don't have to deal with obnoxious fellow movie-goers. 

We did the in-car thing, but there were plenty of pickup-bed sofas and SUV turned loveseats in attendance. 

Oh, and Toy Story 3 was great!

I believe we have our new official Ginandrew venue for movies!

Relative Value of "We Rule" Crops

So I have picked up a nasty We Rule addiction

Consequently, being the geek I am, I threw together a quick spreadsheet to better visualize the relative values of the various crops. I have only added the crops that I A) have access to at Level 9 and B) see as possible contenders; I left out both crops that take too long to grow (up to a day or more) and crops that would have you checking your iPhone every 5 minutes (Wheat and Corn). 

In summary, if you can check in on them every hour, onions are your best bet.

I've got a graph!
