I was driving through Merrill Park, and saw this HUGE brush pile in the parking lot by the playground. These photos don't even do it justice, because it is three dimensional - it's this big all the way around, if you know what I mean. It's hard to get an idea of the scale in these pictures.
The whole parking lot is blocked off, and a guy is sitting there keeping an eye on things. I asked him about it, and he said it's the tree limbs from pretty much the whole township.
And there is also a huge pile of mulch - where they've been chipping up the brush, I guess.
Well, I was impressed, anyway. A lot of work has been done by a lot of people taking down all of these trees and branches and moving them here, and then getting them chipped up into mulch.
I'm thankful, this Thanksgiving, about a lot of things. One of the things I'm most thankful for is the fact that we live in a place that didn't have too much damage in the storm, and that we have the infrastructure in place to help fix things up when they break down. I hope the other towns in NJ are doing well, too...
