Re: Senate approves zoning change for Coral Bay marina

This appears to be private land, not sure about the waters. I am against any development on St John, however, I think the people should be free to do whatever they want with their land as long as it meets environmental guidelines and all local codes. As far as the Republican platform is concerned, a...

Re: Another question concerning EWR

If your flights arrive and depart in the same terminal, you can do it. Your luggage will be checked through to your connecting flight. When booking, ask for an electric cart to the gate both ways at Newark and remind them when checking in. Terminal C at Newark is where most United flights come in. O...

Re: Which and Why ?

The Virgind Grand Villas are across the street and up the hill from the main campus. I own a 1 be up there and love it. I usually walk down the hill to the main pool or to get a taxi if I don't have a jeep. They have golf cart shuttles to take you up the hill if you want. It's a good home base.

Re: New Gifft Hill weather station and other stuff

No prank sir. I am a chemist and the reaction by adding acetic acid (vinegar) and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) produces carbonic acid which is very unstable. Further decomposition produces sodium acetate and CO2 which is why is foams up. Very good for deodorizing drains, garbage disposers, and c...

Re: New Gifft Hill weather station and other stuff

Kevin - I noticed you (and pretty much everyone else on STJ) use bleach, I suspect, as a cleaner and or mold inhibitor. I have found that white vinegar is an excellent cleaner and mold inhibitor. Combined with baking soda it removes stains and is much easier on grout, pipes, tile, glass, the person ...

Re: Ticker check!

Paradise waits on the crest of a wave, her angels in flames
She has no pain, like a child she is pure, she is not to blame
Poised for flight, wings spread bright, spring from night into the sun
Don't stop to run, she can fly like a lie, she can't be outdone

Re: Sunset Ridge Villas

That last I heard they were planning on putting in central air into these condos. I'm not sure where that project is. Sunset Ridge is up on a hill so there may be breeze. I go in April every year and need AC at night to sleep.

I picked up Interludes With the Dead today on iTunes. It was the intermission music which was played at the Fare Thee Well shows this summer. Nice jams!

Re: Columbo's Smoothies

They were closed earlier in the month when I was there. I love their smoothies and they also have cool souvenirs.
