Like most of the country it has been a super hot summer. All I can say is “WOW”, nice to have a pool but some days it’s just to hot to even stay out swimming all day. I see lawns all over South Jersey that need water so please rain! I am glad we have AC but our bill sure is huge. The price you pay to stay cool.

I took my dog Maverik outside to the backyard today and saw this Squirrel stopped about 30 feet up a tree right near our fence. Not sure what is in his mouth, I guess a nut. But I was happy to get the picture since he ran off right after I took it.



This guy can throw some smoke man! His dad went to high school for a few years in South Jersey and they now live in Arizona, when I saw this video, I was amazed, his stats are nice and he is a focused young man. I hope to see him in the Big Leagues someday!

These kinds of stories really scare me and get me very angry too! But I wanted to post this to make people aware of this. It is from an elementary school’s website and the more people are aware of it, the better chance there is of catching these scumbags! So please let your kids know and be extra cautious!

Van Sought In Attempted Child Abduction
Parents On Alert
MOORESTOWN, N.J. – Moorestown police are investigating the
attempted abduction of a 12-year-old girl. It happened at
approximately 3:50 p.m. Monday when the girl got off a school bus at
S. Shirley and Beacon Avenues. This is the 3rd report of an attempted
abduction involving a dirty white van within the last five-days. Police
are asking parents to warn their children to be extra careful if they are
approached by a stranger.
In Monday’s incident a girl says she was walking south towards
Westbrook Drive when a white panel-type work van with no
windows pulled alongside her.
The vehicle was occupied by two males. The driver was
described as hispanic and bald. The passenger had a
moustache with an athletic build, say police.
The passenger asked the girl to get in the car to help look for his son.
She refused, at which point the passenger ordered her to get in the
van as he reached and tried to grab her.
The van is described as dirty, “beat up” with a crack in the
windshield, missing the driver’s side mirror and possible ladder
racks with unknown New Jersey registration.
The 12-year-old ran home and police were notified by her mother.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Moorestown Police
Criminal Investigations Division at 856-914-3046.
Last week, a white work van with a similar description pulled alongside
a 14-year-old boy in Perkasie.
The driver tried to get the boy in his van, but that boy too was able to
get away.
Police also say there was a similar report in Sellersville last
Wednesday.
