Nighttime Drone Sightings Have NJ Residents Uneasy

Something is happening in New Jersey, but no one seem to know what:

A flood of nighttime drone sightings over northern New Jersey has nearly every level of local law enforcement and government concerned and confused, but no one has been able to get satisfactory explanations.

#pizza #newJersey #employment
A **Christoph* post about pizza has reminded me of one of my first jobs when I was a teenager in New Jersey.
I was a PIZZA TOSSER in a Jersey Shore Boardwalk pizza restaurant. Spinning pizza dough up into the air, making an X with my arms, then catching the spinned dough on the topside of my wrist. It had to be just right. Not too thin. Not too thick.
If a guy made some smart-ass sexist remark, I’d spin the dough where it would land right on top of his head and cover his face and big mouth.*
The owner taught me how to toss, spin and make a pizza. One reason I was hired was because I used to twirl a baton up into the air and catch it. That little skill took a lot of time to learn, and it made tossing and spinning pizza dough easier. I still love pizza - if it’s made right.
These days, pizza tossing is an art and there are Championships.

#ice #skating #newjersey #photography
It took me years to remember, and then to find a photograph of the place where I went ice skating in New Jersey. I was in Middle School. The place was Goat Hill, along Coon Path ~ in the woods. That's where I went with others from school, and I learned how to ice skate there on a frozen pond.
The photograph is exactly how I remember the location. I was thrilled to see it!!

#Amazon Hub in #Newark Is Canceled After Unions and Local Groups Object

It was in part the #company’s prominence in the state that attracted opposition to the project. A report produced by groups seeking to block it pointed out that the number of Amazon facilities in #NewJersey grew to 49 from one between 2013 and 2020, helping to nearly triple the number of warehouse workers in the state, to about 70,000. Over the same period, the average #wage for those workers fell to about $44,000 per year from over $53,000 per year, adjusting for inflation, according to #Labor Department data.
