This is my blog. I speak for no one but myself here. The words I write, the images I post, and the articles I link to interest no one but me. I stand by what I put here, however, it is not a reflection of time, effort, or particular care. I just want a clearinghouse of what does interest me and a space to spout out poorly written and thoughtout rants. Consider this a disclaimer.

Well, this is some of the storm damage. We are okay and should have power back today. The breaker box didn’t arc, which is a goodness. #518wx Thanks to @nationalgrid and @ungermanelec for all they have done so far. pic.twitter.com/GSMC76PbCq

2) Even at the time, they were aware how transgressive the film was. None of the characters were “heroes”. It mocked the very nature of the best & brightest.

The “Clean Up Albany” crowd uses Albany as a slur related to government ineptitude. Chances are the bulk of these people share Mayor Koch’s view about the citizens of the city as well.

Great to enjoy a place that always makes me feel welcome regardless of how long it has been since I was there before.

Maybe Boomers should quietly exit from the polis & tend to the oikos.
