After visiting the John Woolman Memorial this weekend I stopped by the Shinn Curtis Log House in My Holly NJ. Built in 1712, it gained so many additions over the centuries that the original house was totally encased and lost. It was rediscovered when the outside house was being demolished in 1967.

In this week's "Quaker Ranter" newsletter, I talk with Ron Marullo about his path to conscientious objection in 1969. I also share how I went through my own discernment around military service almost two decades later. us17.campaign-archive.com?u=7e77489ebc...

Happy 20th to Francis. I took him out to breakfast at Gilcrests, then we headed to the mountain bike trails of Estell Manor Park. Following along behind him I realized just how bad off his bike was so we got a new (old) bike. Then home for Royale Crown ice cream cake.

I've listened to park music playlists too and there used to be some radio stations (they seem to come and go). Also, my favorite Disney hat ever.

It likely was more imposing (and bluer?) once upon a time. It’s by an intersection of Lenape trails and was a popular meeting spot for centuries. The 1930 aerial and modern lidar show a lot of interesting features nearby, including networks of trails and a bend in the Egg Harbor River.

Greetings from the famous South Jersey Blue Hole, whose legends eclipse the actual body of water. Some include: it has no bottom; people swimming there have been drowned by being pulled down by the Jersey Devil; it is cold but ice free year round. #southjersey #bluehole

Rain has brought water to the often-dry creek in our back yard. I hope it wakes up the frog eggs so we have a lot of little hoppers in a few weeks.
