I went over to John Wolcott’s house for a couple of hours to keep going through his files. 🗃 While I didn’t find anything remarkably interested, we are getting down on the boxes, and I expect this project to rap up by autumn.

In 1969, the Woodstock Music Festival Opens on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in Bethel, 🐮 much to the distaste of his neighbors and fellow community members. 🎶 Lots of mud in what was already a hay field to muddy and mucky to plant or harvest. 🌿 His farm, until it closed in around 1970 was the biggest dairy in Sullivan County, which granted isn’t the best dairy country.

On this day in 1970, President Richard Nixon completes the break from the gold standard by ending convertibility of the United States dollar into gold by foreign investors. 💰 The gold standard was a already broken by the 1930s, its not really sustainable to build a growing economy around a fixed asset. Depending on the levels of gold consumption and mining discovery though, especially in inflationary times, it can be a decent asset but it also can be really risky.
