Today we learned that the longest (I believe) cold case homicide in Middlesex County was closed. In 1999 Nancy Noga was found dead in a wooded area off of Ernston road in Sayreville. No clues, no leads, nothing. For 22 years the Sayreville PD and other agencies did their work, and this morning they announced an arrest had been made. Turns out, the individual arrested grew up with me in South Amboy. We werent friends but I've seen him many times over the years. Crazy to think that someone can go on with their lives after having done something like this.
Anywho, heres to some closure for the Noga family.

Johnson passed 224 legislative acts, bipartisan, in his time in office, under his "Great Society" plan. Imagine something like that today! Sadly, he gets remembered more as the president that got us entrenched in Viet Nam.

Unfortunately there’s no defined metrics to judge a politician career in office. Each one can pick a single action and use it to prove it was the greatest achievement of all time, while for the next guy it would be the most despicable of acts. And that without even dipping into politicians personal life…

October 12, 1920, construction began on the Holland Tunnel.
The tunnel is one of the earliest examples of a mechanically ventilated design with
84 fans in four ventilation buildings which create a floor to ceiling air flow across the
roadway at regular intervals. The tunnel consists of a pair of tubes, each providing two lanes.
The north tube is 8,558 feet long while the south tube is slightly shorter at 8,371 feet.
The tunnel was named after chief engineer Clifford M. Holland, the first chief engineer on the Hudson River Vehicular Tunnel Project

All the extract they dumped in the ocean has made for some superior fishing

This was the view off my sisters deck in Beach Haven on this day 9 years ago. This was right around noonish and Sandy was still 7 or so hours from landfall. Once it got dark, the shit really hit the fan.

Happy birthday to Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park in Paterson, New Jersey,
November 7, 2011, it became the 397th National Park in the United States!
The Paterson Great Falls were carved by glaciers that receded 13,000 years ago at the
end of the last Ice Age. More than 2 billion gallons of water rush over the 77-foot high falls daily.
It is the second largest waterfall, by volume, east of the Mississippi River,
