John Boyd Thacher State Park

John Boyd Thacher State Park, is situated along the Helderberg Escarpment, one of the richest fossil-bearing formations in the world. Even as it safeguards six miles of limestone cliff-face, rock-strewn slopes, woodland and open fields, the park provides a marvelous panorama of the Hudson-Mohawk Valleys and the Adirondack and Green Mountains. The park has volleyball courts, playgrounds, ball fields and numerous picnic areas with nine reservable shelters. Interpretive programs are offered year-round, including guided tours of the famous Indian Ladder Trail. There are over 25 additional miles of trails for summer hiking and mountain biking, and winter cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and snowmobiling.

Jesus 2020

** Jesus 2020 **

Love they neighbor, the roadside sign said in this era of hyper-partisanship. Maybe in the era of bigotry that exists as the prime alternative to technocracy that’s what we really need. Not politics but love and respect for our fellow man and nature alike.

I don’t own a television.

I don’t own a television. I listen to subversive music all day from Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs, Malvina Reynolds and Tom Paxton. Our country needs more subversion not less.

Still An Evil

|

Some people I know think government is a force of good. But I’m not sure I agree. I think government may be necessary, and evil sometimes required, but still an evil. We should do everything in our power to shrink our government.

Virginia Accents

|

It’s kind of interesting how local people I have talked into in Maryland and Virginia – especially women – have Southern accents. In West Virginia, at least in the northern part, don’t have much of an accent or if they do its mostly a rural Midwestern accent as is common in much of Rural Upstate NY, especially the western part of the state.

I don’t worry about America becoming more divided 🐴 🐘

The federal government will just become more and more ineffective with grid lock and states will start to do their own things. States will become more distinct in their policies, with blue states and red states relying more and more on Interstate compacts rather than the federal government. There actually is a lot of incentives for states to encourage people to freely relocate to states of their ideological persuasion, so the incumbent politicians can further cement their power and implement their desired policies.
