Good Friday 2033. A deeply religious day for Christians as they remember those hours of darkness.
You will get an extra three days to file your taxes that year. It will be my 50th year of life, by which I’m hoping to have more than 20 years in with the state and can be well on my way to owning that off-grid homestead.
One of the concerns my therapist brought up with my love of travel and exploring the wilderness is that the risk of me having some kind of accident like falling into a gorge with nobody has else around to call for help and I essentially disappear off the map to not be found potentially for days or decades.
Exploring has its risks, especially when you are alone and doing your own thing. But as they say, freedom is not free. You take calculated risks and you live with the consequences. I don’t rush to edge of something that could be slippery and I try to be mindful of everything I do in the woods as I know there is no help but my own.
The crucifixion darkness is an episode in three of the canonical gospels in which the sky becomes dark in daytime during the crucifixion of Jesus for roughly three hours.
Probably not a solar eclipse due to when passover was but maybe a dust storm.
Relatively poor, rural counties upstate have the greatest equity in wealth. There isn't a lot of very wealthy people -- most people just make enough to get by in these counties. Steuben County, home of Watkins Glen and the southern Finger Lakes has the lowest GINI index of any county in New York.
TUNBRIDGE — On the first Friday of July, Amber Hoyt stood in the dairy barn she owns with her husband, Scott. She held a plastic ziplock bag with small, mangled pieces of stainless steel wire in her hand.?
Since December, the Hoyts have pulled the wire from the bodies of three cows that recently died after showing symptoms the farmers hadn’t seen before: sudden bloody noses, a high number of aborted calves, obvious signs of discomfort, a decline in milk production.?
Last fall, the Hoyts found the wire scattered throughout the cows’ feed, which they grew on their land and other fields they rent in the rolling hills of Tunbridge. As the weather cooled and the Hoyts transitioned the cows out of pasture, they began feeding the animals silage, which they make by layering chopped hay from several different fields in a bunker.
The trail runs along here.
