I've been following along your posts, I can recall quite a few years back going to the library for internet access too.
I thought you were near North Brunswick, but someone mentioned Somerville, I used to live close by in Basking Ridge and liked to shop the Bridgewater Common mall, have a cold one at Fridays in Somerville, watch the game sometimes, over by the circle where 206 heads south to Princeton and or that well known publisher McGraw-Hill.
Its hard to imagine those areas so adversely effected, must have been wind damage. I can understand the situation at the shore, having lived in Manasquan, my old house is probably now gone at 127 1st St.
What you mention with the farmers and being helpful is something that still happens around here, and was something that stood out prominently to me just a few years ago while working with my long time farmer/friend because even if they're not all that fond of each other, they always help each other, find a way, could be as simple as pulling out a stuck tractor or doing a harvest like when the large dairy lost a combine to fire during harvest. Its always been like that, sometimes its a rental, his equipment is closer to the fields, hiring out a truck, it is something to admire in the times we live now. As a young kid I can recall my father firing up the D7 caterpillar to pull out a stuck tractor during spring planting/tillage, same farmer came over when he buried the 4000 ford on the first pass of cutting in one of our hay fields, father had to be at work, not only did he cut, he raked and baled, small field but nonetheless, and the fine details of $ worked out later, work was done first. You hit the nail on the head all right by bringing that up.
Hope you and yours get back to some "normalcy" soon, take care now !!! :)

Today's Featured Article - What Price Enthusiasm? - by Anthony West. Quite frankly, for some time now restorers like myself have become more and more concerned about the rapid increase in the prices of old farm machines here in England. There is now a growing market for "As found" machines. Which as machines get rarer, has found the birth of a new industry....one of the "procurement agent". These agents appropriate as much old machinery as possible then inflate prices at auctions. So at what price enthiusiasm? We are now seeing poor machines which 3 years ago ma
