Another Ecology Come Back to New Jersey

Fisher (Martes pennanti) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_%28animal%29, the size of a cat or red fox, is a carnivore and a hunter. It does not prey on fish but preys on squirrels, mice and a natural predator of porcupines. It feeds also on carrion of deer, which is abundant in New Jersey.

It belongs to the weasel family. This animal was virtually wiped-out in New Jersey because of excessive logging and expansion of human habitat.

Despite our dense population, its come back has been documented. It seems like New Jersey is becoming eco-friendly.

New Jersey and the Sopranos

The Sopranos plans to film their final episode in Bloomfield, NJ at Holsten's Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor on Broad St. The township reversed the approval when residents complained about the negative stereotype of Italian-American. I do emphatize with them, being myself as an immigrant of another ethnicity. The great majority of Italian-American, no doubt, has contributed many positive and great things to this country. It also applies to other ethnic groups. This is what makes US a powerful nation. Unfortunately, it is the activity of the few that is being put into the limelight, media and movies. It is pure entertainment, nothing beyond that. Borat, who is an Englishman, does not represent the people of Kashakstan nor all Filipinos have a a thousand shoes like Imelda Marcos. The film industry should be nurtured in New Jersey especially in Essex county where there is ethnic diversity together with the many historic and unique places in the county. I would take a deep breath and smile. People are noticing New Jersey.
