Reply to comment by thebruns in In light of Biden announcing funding for the Hudson tunnels, let’s not forget Chris Christie canceled the original project which would have been done by now and cost half as much. by Flashinglights0101

  1. The new tunnels connect with Penn Station.
  2. Amtrak & nj transit can use them not just nj transit like with the old plan that was canceled.
  3. Old plan was dead end terminal not a through station where amtrak/nj transit can continue east through queens or further.
  4. If gateway was built and something happened to existing tunnels, the new tunnels wouldn't help out with getting trains from outside of NYC/points east to anything south/west on amtrak.

Reply to Question about hawks and crows by BeamerTakesManhattan

Coincidence. Hawks are everywhere. A couple of years ago I witnessed a murder of several hundred crows flying near the Toms River across from Ocean Gate heading southwest. For decades dozens were located at the Manasquan River Reservoir.

Reply to Neighbor is an unregistered commercial apiarist. by ForeverMoody

What does your neighbors yard look like? Does he have flowers to keep keep his bees occupied? You said he has 1/2 acre of grass. Does he grow wildflowers or have any type of flowers? You said below you have a pool and he told you to put out birdbaths - but does he have any type of water for them? Or do they have to just fly 1/4 mile to a stream? If you put out birdbaths and water if it is not changed out regularly it will attract and breed mosquitos which is what no one wants. The pool (and stream) is moving water. Perhaps the reason for the bees leaving the property is because he is not caring enough for them. This can be one of those if you cant beat him/join him situation. I dont know what your property looks like, however you can grow flowers and they will flourish. You can plant a vegetable garden and have pollinators. If you plan and plot it out correctly you can keep bees away from your main areas like your pool and lounging area because they will want to be where the tasty flowers and plants are. In my yard I planted flowers to attract butterflies, but also bees come, which is a good thing. I have a pergola maybe twenty feet away and the bees dont even come near it because they are more interested in the flowers and keeping busy over in that direction.
