Living involves tearing up one rough draft after another. ~Author Unknown

Albert Einstein Quotes Quotes from a master thinker. Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them. In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not. When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it’s longer than any hour. That’s relativity! (thanks to Martha Shields) Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius (and a lot of courage) to move in the opposite direction.

I’m no Einstein. A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin what else does a man need to be happy? Imagination is more important than knowledge. Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish. One does not make wars less likely by formulating rules of warfare. Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love. I want to know God’s thoughts; the rest are details. If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts. The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax. Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. The only real valuable thing is intuition.

From a Southwest Airlines employee: “Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX to YYY. To operate your seatbelt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seatbelt and if you don’t know how to operate one, you probably shouldn’t be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with two small children, decide now which one you love more.”

Slowinski Family @ 1st Avenue Beach

A carpet installer finished up a big job and decided to go outside for a smoke. He searched his pockets and not finding his usual pack of cigarettes began to look around. A lump under the carpet caught his attention. Not wanting to remove and reinstall a large carpet, he took a mallet and carefully pounded down the lump, smoothing it out with his hands until it was perfectly flat. Satisfied that the job was well done, he gathered up his tools only to find his cigarettes in the lid of his tool box. He was examining them when the woman of house walks in and said, “The carpets look great. By the way, have you seen my canary?”

the street in a sweat because he had a very important meeting and couldn’t find a parking place. Looking up to heaven, he said, “Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking place, I will go to church every Sunday and quit drinking!” Just then, a parking place appeared - the closest one imaginable. The man looked up again and said, “Never mind, I just found one.”

Seems a guy was driving for hours thu desolate country when he passed a farmhouse, and before he could react, a cat ran out in front of him and*splat*... he flattened the cat. Out of kindness and consideration, he stopped, turned around and drove back to the farmhouse to notify the occupants. When the housewife came to the door, said he, “Pardon memadame, but I just ran over a cat in front of your house, and assumed that it must belong to you. I know this might be hard to hear, but Iwanted to let you know instead of just driving off....” “Not so fast”, says she. “How do you know it was our cat? Could you describe him? What does he look like?” The man promptly flopped down on the ground, and said “He looks like thts”as he gave his best shot at a dead cat impression. “Oh no, you *horrible* man”, she replied. “I meant, what did he look like*before* you hit him?” At that, the man got up, covered his eyes with both hands and screamed”Agggghhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!”

Freeds Family @ The Boathouse

A big-city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old rancher. The rancher’s prize bull was missing from the section through which the railroad passed. The rancher only wanted to be paid the fair value of the bull. The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace in the back room of the general store. The attorney for the railroad immediately cornered the rancher and tried to get him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best selling job, and finally the rancher agreed to take half of what he was asking. After the rancher had signed the release and took the check, the young lawyer couldn’t resist gloating a little over his success, telling the rancher, “You know, I hate to tell you this, old man, but I put one over on you in there. I couldn’t have won the case. The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your ranch that morning. I didn’t have one witness to put on the stand. I bluffed you!” The old rancher replied, “Well, I’ll tell you, young feller, I was a little worried about winning that case myself, because that durned bull came home this morning.”

An aged farmer and his wife were leaning against the edge of their pig-pen when the old woman wistfully recalled that the next week would mark their golden wedding anniversary. “Let’s have a party, Homer,� she suggested. “Let’s kill a pig.� The farmer scratched his grizzled head. “Gee, Ethel,� he finally answered, “I don’t see why the pig should take the blame for something that happened fifty years ago.�

A very zealous soul-winning young preacher recently came upon a farmer working in his field. Being concerned about the farmer’s soul the preacher asked the man, “Are you laboring in the vineyard of the Lord my good man?” Not even looking at the preacher and continuing his work the farmer replied, “Naw, these are soybeans.” “You don’t understand,” said the preacher. “Are you a Christian?” With the same amount of interest as his previous answer the farmer said, “Nope my name is Jones. You must be lookin for Jim Christian. He lives a mile south of here.” The young determined preacher tried again asking the farmer, “Are you lost?” “Naw! I’ve lived here all my life,” answered the farmer. “Are you prepared for the resurrection?” the frustrated preacher asked. This caught the farmer’s attention and he asked, “When’s it gonna be?” Thinking he had accomplished something the young preacher replied, “It could be today, tomorrow, or the next day.” Taking a handkerchief from his back pocket and wiping his brow, the farmer remarked, “Well, don’t mention it to my wife. She don’t get out much and she’ll wanna go all three days.”

Celebrating Our 40th Year The farmer’s son was returning from the market with the crate of chicken’s his father had entrusted to him, when all of a sudden the box fell and broke open. Chickens scurried off in different directions, but the determined boy walked all over the neighborhood scooping up the wayward birds and returning them to the repaired crate. Hoping he had found them all, the boy reluctantly returned home, expecting the worst. “Pa, the chickens got loose,” the boy confessed sadly, “but I managed to find all twelve of them.” “Well, you did real good, son,” the farmer beamed. “You left with seven.”

Health Tips from Dr. Einstein Q: Aren’t fried foods bad for you? A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food are fried these day in vegetable oil. In fact, they permeated by it. How could getting more vegetable be bad for you?!? Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach. AND REMEMBER . . .

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming “WOO-HOO, what a ride!!”

Hall’s Air Duct


A retiring farmer in preparation for selling his land, needed to rid his farm of animals. So he went to every house in his town. To the houses where the man is the boss, he gave a horse. To the houses where the woman is the boss, a chicken was given. He got toward the end of the street and saw a couple outside gardening. “Who’s the boss around here?” he asked. “I am.” said the man. “I have a black horse and a brown horse,” the farmer said, “which one would you like?” The man thought for a minute and said, “The black one.” “No, no, no, get the brown one.” the man’s wife said. “Here’s your chicken.” said the farmer.

Mummers Invade North Wildwood

Happy 125th Birthday, Anglesea! This past Sunday (June 13th) marked the 125th anniversary of the incorporation of the borough of Anglesea, the predecessor of modern day North Wildwood. Anglesea came into being on June 13, 1885, the area previously consisting of portions of Middle Township. The borough was reincorporated in each of the follow two years. The Borough of North Wildwood was incorporated on May 16, 1906, replacing Anglesea Borough. It would be reincorporated once again on April 30, 1917, finally being renamed the City of North Wildwood. Though the Anglesea name was officially removed 96 years ago, the name has long been used in association with the northern portions of 5 Mile Beach; particularly the area adjacent to Hereford Inlet - which, quite literally, is situated at an angle to the Atlantic Ocean. This is a banner year for milestone anniversaries in the Wildwoods... Wildwood Crest is celebrating its centennial with summer-long series of events. Check out www.visitwildwoodcrest.com for an updated list of activities. Also, West Wildwood is commemorating the 90th anniversary of its incorporation. Visit www.westwildwoodnj.com for additional details. Block party celebrates new businesses Morey’s Piers sponsored a “Boardwalk Block Party” last Thursday afternoon to celebrate the grand openings of three new businesses. The event, held between Juniper & Poplar Avenues, drew several hundred. Photo: GWCOC

Festivities centered around the debuting Capt’n Jack’s Island Grill, the Palace of Sweets (home of the “Adventure Maze”) and the Hot Spot Cafe. Photo: GWCOC

These new entries, combined with the alsorecently opened Joe’s Fish Co. at Morey’s Surfside Pier, Sam’s Pizza Palace, Sand Jamm Surf Shop, and Stewart’s Root Beer restaurant, have added vitality and fresh dining/retail/entertainment options to the northern portion of the Boardwalk’s main stretch. “We are exceedingly pleased to work with tenants that invest in the long term,” said Jack Morey, executive Vice President of the Morey Organization, in a release. “We thank the BSID (Boardwalk Special Improvement District) and the City of Wildwood for their vision in creating design guidelines that encourage these kind of investments.”

By: Al Alven Wildwood bars/clubs to stay open later? Wildwood city commissioners introduced a measure last week that would push back the closing time for bars and nightclubs from to 4 a.m. The current 3 a.m. closing law has been in place since 1997. The idea to extend service hours, initiated by the Wildwood Beverage Association, is to give a boost to struggling businesses, primarily along the Pacific Avenue strip in downtown. The panel introduced the change on first reading. Second reading and public hearing on the measure is set for the next commissioners meeting on June 26.

Photo: Al Alven

What do you think: Is this a good idea or not? Drop us a line at wildwood365@gmail.com to share your opinion. Vintage Vacation Photos Starting next week, we will feature vintage family vacation photos from our readers. If you have pics you would like to share, please drop us a line and send them along to wildwood365@gmail.com. Include as much info as you would like, including names of those in the photo(s), location, particular vacation memories, etc. To lead off, I decided to dig into my own family archives for this photo of myself (at 11 months) with my parents on the beach at 3rd Ave. in North Wildwood, from July of 1979. The setting is instantly identifiable, though some things have surely changed in the nearly 31 years since this was taken. In the background, at center, is the Aloha Motel; note the original balconies on the eastern side of the structure and the real palm trees on the sundeck. Most striking is the absence of the current condos on the corner of 2nd & JFK. A small glimpse of the (then-relatively new) Acropolis Motor Inn is visible at the extreme left. 5 Mile Beach Trivia The Pink Cadillac Diner at Atlantic & Garfield Aves. in central Wildwood has a long, colorful history that dates back over a half century. The diner was built by Mountain View (Singac, NJ) in 1955 and was remodeled by Paramount (Oakland, NJ) during the following decade.

Photo: Mike Crater

For the majority of its existence, the diner was known by its original name (think about its location for a clue). It later changed to a new moniker that included the name of one of its owners and a theme that set it up as the precursor to the Pink Cadillac.

Can you name the previous two names that the diner operated under? Look for the answer - and a new trivia question - here next week!

The Girl Around Town By Natalie Cooper

The breeze is blowing ever so softly, lightly enough to wake me from my afternoon nap. I sit up to recollect where it is that I am. As it all comes back to me, I remember that I’m exactly where I want to be—home on the Wildwood beaches. I look down at my blue and green striped beach chair and discover that my once pressed towel has fallen from behind my head and is now on the ground, covered with gray and silver pockets of sand. The two identical pink and yellow striped beach chairs to my left, once occupied by my two friends are now sitting idle, casting shadows onto the sand from the sun. I begin to wonder where everyone is, glancing around until a house behind me sitting quaintly and peacefully, as if in a still picture, grabs my attention, pulling me away from my friends. The gray and teal shutters give the place a sort of appeal in a way, contrasting with the chipped white siding. It reminds me of a vacation cottage from years ago before my time—back to a Wildwood I hear only stories of. Walking along the shoreline one would never be able to spot it, for the dunes cover the landscape of the house. The house makes me smile as I imagine what Wildwood must have been like back then and how it has changed, but somehow still managed to stay the same and keep that mystery and wonder and excitement one finds in a seaside resort town. It’s been a good ten minutes since I’ve woken up, and I still see no sign of my friends. But I’m not worried about it. It’s too beautiful and serene to worry. Deciding I’d rather not get up and walk, I lean further down in my chair and take in the scene around me. It’s rather warm today, and the sun is beating down against the water, almost stinging it in a sort of way. The ocean looks extra blue for June, with hints of greenish patches swirling in the waves as they form perfectly and break, their white mists running to catch the beach shore. Seagulls pairing together fly by repeatedly, scooping down and touching the ocean surface, scavenging for fish. The beach has grown longer since last summer, but that’s part of its appeal. It makes it easier to hold the large amount of beachgoers during those hot summer days. I notice it’s particularly crowded today as I lounge back by the dunes, burying my feet under the white, smooth sand. Umbrellas in assortments of bright colors and designs stretch the beach on both sides of me and in front of me and go on for as far as I can see. And as far as I can see, there is still no sign of my friends. The smell of sunscreen floods my nostrils, and I remember how my mother used to make my brothers and me form a single line before we left the house and walked the block to the beach, taking turns getting lathered from head to toe with Water Babies lotion. I watch in front of me as a mother does the same to her little girl now, while the girl squeezes her eyes shut and tries to squirm away. She reminds me of myself when I was that age. It’s quiet for the most part, with the occasional chatter from people around me. I notice a couple sitting down by the water’s edge relaxing and enjoying each other’s company as they keep an eye on their little boy standing a few feet away from them. I watch as he runs and plays tag with the water, giggling and smiling from ear to ear. Maybe my friends walked towards the boardwalk, I gather. I look to my right and see a man sitting on a blue beach towel. I notice his eyes are shut and his chest is a deep red with the kind of sunburn that hurts for days. He won’t be happy when he wakes and notices his burns and that he missed the end of the baseball game sounding from his radio. He was listening to the Phillies lose again before he fell into his slumber. His cooler and chair are placed around him, while his clothes make a small ball on top of his flip-flops. But still no sign of my friends. I look to my left and notice a woman in a red and white polka-dot bikini. Her face is glistening from the sun, and her iPod blares at the loudest volume to Lady GaGa’s “Bad Romance.” Good song. Her magazine is propped open in front of her and her phone rests on her stomach. No friends to my left, either. I draw my attention back towards the water and conclude my friends simply went to the hotdog vendor, who is always parked on the street, and didn’t want to disturb me by wakening me. I can taste the sweet sensation of sauerkraut on my tongue as I imagine eating the hotdog they’ll bring back for me, sipped down by an ice-cold Coke. That has to be it—that’s where they went. But I’m not too worried about it. It’s too beautiful and serene to worry. After all, I’m right where I want to be—home on the Wildwood beaches. With this, I slowly shut my eyes and calmly drift away into a light sleep. Hopefully when I awaken, they’ll be back…with my hotdog in hand.
