Costco could be coming to Guilderland | WNYT.com
While the Costco at Crossgates Maul is less objectionable to the proposed 222-unit apartment complex right next to the butterfly corridor, one has to question why need yet another big box store, when B.J. and Wally World is right up the road. I mean doesn't the world have enough plastic crap that burns with black smoke, that can be bought at local big box stores already? Local government needs revenue like a heroin addict needs his baggy.
Milking Cows in Brand New Parlour!
Big dairy farms, with state-of-the-art milking parlors, robots and other technologies are kind of neat, but when it comes down it, dairy farming is pretty much dairy farming, it's still cows, it's still cleaning and hooking milking machines up their teats, feeding them, hauling manure, cleaning bedding pack, etc. I am actually a bit surprised which such a big operation they don't use more milking robots.
History of the American Chestnut | The American Chestnut Foundation
More than a century ago, nearly 4 billion American chestnut trees were growing in the eastern U.S. They were among the largest, tallest, and fastest-growing trees. The wood was rot-resistant, straight-grained, and suitable for furniture, fencing, and building. The nuts fed billions of wildlife, people and their livestock. It was almost a perfect tree, that is, until a blight fungus killed it more than a century ago. The chestnut blight has been called the greatest ecological disaster to strike the world’s forests in all of history.
The American chestnut tree survived all adversaries for 40 million years, then disappeared within 40.
