was the closure due to a plover? (yeah yeah my memory is terrible... my wife says there was a PSA produced about me... "a mind is a terrible thing to waste")

Yep. 1 (count 'em 1) plover.

I know it only takes 2 to tango, but the announcement made it sort of seem like many "plovers" (even with the singular "chick"

)

"The section of Island Beach State Park ocean beach approximately 3/4 mile north of the jetty which had been closed to Mobile Sport Fishing Vehicle traffic has been reopened. The closure was put in effect in late June to protect state endangered (federally threatened) piping plovers nesting on the beach. NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife staff, along with park staff and volunteers, appreciate the cooperation of those inconvenienced by the closure. The chick produced in the nest has successfully fledged."

guess they have a "leave no bird behind" policy...

yeah but when they have that section closed to the 4x4's thats a nice 3/4 mile of quiet beach you can have to yourself. Most fishermen are lazy

Jason,

You're definitely a half-full kind of guy

You might be the first person to ever say that about me!!!

Don't let anyone else know that, it'll ruin everyone else's perception that I'm a grouchy curmudgeon.
