Many years ago, worked with the the people running the lab at Cornell. At that time they were doing long term studies of homing pigeons.

They were good people, deep into their research, but totally devoid of the outside world.

...totally devoid of the outside world.

That has to be a blessing in many ways.

I was thinking the same thing.

That could be said about most of the population of Ithaca.

Good heavens.

Oh yes, indeed. I had the intense displeasure of spending an entire year in Ithaca, NY 14850.

I have a sister who lives there and she invited me up to regroup after a very rough spot in my life: "A change of scenery will do you good". After a few months in Ithaca I was able to secure employment, doing a $40,000/yr. job for $20,000 and relocated to the only "affordable" housing I could find, out in the boondocks of Spencer, NY. There I was able to burn black rocks for heat, pay $400/mo for electricity to run a light-bulb, water heater, and television and had snow on the ground from Halloween to Mother's Day. When things thawed out in June, I packed all my worldly possessions in a U-haul and moved my ass back to GA. Gratefully so.

Oh, that is beautiful. In an ugly way it's beautiful, your return to civilization!

Do you have any comment on Ithaca hours, by chance? Anybody?

Ithaca hours

My former brother-in-law was the first merchant to accept them as payment for services. It's barter with a twist.

You have my heartfelt sympathy for your year of internment in Jewville.

The unwashed natives living in the surrounding area have nothing but disdain for that town.

The town is awash with jews and or queers, by the thousands.

Sounds like we should all scrub Ithaca off our "Destinations" bucket-list.

It was quite an experience and one I don't wish to revisit.

I went fishing in Cayuga Lake and caught a decent sized bass, carried it back to my sister's place where I planned on fixing it for dinner. My sister came in while I was cleaning it and informed me that none of the fish from the lake were fit to eat, can't remember if it was PCB's or Mercury, but WTF, here I am in this supposedly pristine hippy-city and the food is toxic. Go figure.

Cornell has over 25 per cent jew enrollment, mostly from NYC.

They are insufferable.

Years ago we use to give pilot written exams etc in the area. Cornell students had so much money that getting a pilots license was a lark for something to do. PHDs were a dime a dozen, in fields of study I had to look up to see what they were. Ornithology was one of the palatable ones.

My son is a professional fisherman, runs tournaments on the Finger Lakes, Erie and Ontario. He has never eaten any of the fish.

Using our oceans, lakes, rivers and streams as an industrial sewer is turning out to be a very bad thing for living critters, us included.

New York City is the worst offender in the country.

I recall the present scheme is that NYC ships its sewage to Texas and Florida for spreading on the ground. Texas I believe gets 40 tank cars a day.

Cripes! maybe it's somewhat processed and useful; I don't know...

Not since I learned that organic OJ has much more health benefit than eating the fruit itself. A surprise to me.

As a teen, we lived in Bergen County in NJ. During the Summer we would go to Sandy Hook Beach on the Jersey shore until it was routinely closed due to medical waste washing up on the beach. At that time, NYC would load all their garbage in barges, take it out in the ocean and dump it.

Nice.

Much of NYC sewage is now dumped in FL orange groves. It dont say that on package of oranges or on juice.

Certified Organic crops cannot be grown in sewage sludge.

Good to know.
