    If it's really in a flood plane and prone to constant mold it wouldn't be a healthy or pleasant place to live. Those of you who haven't lived in such places should consider yourselves lucky. Apparently now there's backlash against Charles who might be perceived as having gone too far. Look, Andrew gets no sympathy from me. I've already said he belongs in prison.

    IBM was the main employer in Duchess County, NY. It eliminated and reduced its production to the extent Dutchess County's economy was decimated. The mid-century prosperity was gone. Some time later NYC shuttered its vast network of psychiatric facilities and facilities for the developmentally disabled. The economy took a second nosedive. Public sector compensation was slashed around this time as well. Now where there used to be convenience stores, video rental stores, and mom and pop restaurants, there are payday loan outfits and pawn shops. The real estate hasn't crashed. My best guess is people from the City view it as a bargain especially because the Metro-North commuter rail infrastructure still exists and remains fully operational.

    Chris Christie on This Week, regarding MN: The administration is addressing the PR problem, not the actual problem. Trump is worried about the polls and doesn't care about what's really happening in MN. Homan is just an outwardly calmer but probably no different than Bovino, face to the public.

    I bought the pattern, but I don’t have time to knit it yet. Currently knitting one more Portland Frog Hat. They’ve raised $400,000 by those pattern sales so far, donated to good causes.

    The article wasn't about those kinds of technologies. The value of technology isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. Also, a desire to consider the impact of technology, good, bad, or just different, isn't a sign of being a Luddite!

    Yeah that one was unbelievable. But there are videos that appear real of people jumping out of high windows onto massive snowdrifts for a slide down.

    @Axtremus said in I’m glad I’m not young anymore: @Piano-Dad said in I’m glad I’m not young anymore: My teaching career is now in the rear view mirror... Great! You're in prime position to opine on the academia's pedagogical trends and paradigm shifts risk- and responsibility-free! Don't let that go to waste! Don't worry, I won't ...

    So Lindsay Graham has thrown a monkey wrench into the works. Doubt he's doing this on his own. I figure he and The Orange One have a good cop-bad cop thing going on.
