State of the Onion

Interesting synchronicity or "deep chrono" thinking about the U.S. President's speech last night. I had just signed a petition to the government from Robert Redford that I think Bush used to get us over on his side. Robert Redford: In the petition is sort of the fact that 3% of the oil reserves we have and we use 25% of the world's oil. There's no way we can drill our way out, so lets start alternative energy research and use for real. I have recently looked (try to get the history and prehistory of) at a property for a proposed "Ski Bowl Village" in North Creek, NY next door in the former garnet mines they want to put a wind farm at Greenpeace came out for in December of '05 for Greenhouse Consultants. However, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is against the one Greenpeace is for off Massachusetts for various environmental reasons. I wonder if the Adirondack Park Agency (a unit larger than the State of Massachusetts) wants a precedent set in the development of the windfarm. The "Gore Ski Bowl Village" developer wants to re-establish skiing, which started there before it moved around the corner to Gore Mountain, actually reconnect with Gore Mountain through the old trails, many of the trails there long before skiing. North Creek, NY is where the Saks Fifth Ave. ski train used to stop in the 1930's, ski-inspired use by the locals from the nearby Lake Placid winter Olympics of 1932, and NYers will go skiing there instead of Vermont today it's argued. (Gore pumps Hudson River water for snow). Years before, Theodore Roosevelt left there for Buffalo, NY after the telegram came that announced that President McKinley was dead. He boarded a special train to Buffalo after being driven down all night from Tahawas Club near Mt. Marcy on a series of horse-drawn carriages, from where he had been hiking. Today a tourist train goes up and down the Hudson River from North Creek to Riparius, NY and back today, and there's a museum of skis and 20th century America, the railroad in town started by one of the gentlemen who built the U.S. transcontinental railroad. The town was a tannery for upwards of 20,000 hides a year, brought in by railroad from around the world due to its stands of hemlock trees cut and sluiced into town until they ran out. Titanium was mined near Mt. Marcy in the 1940's and 1950's and said to be for white paint for tanks and by truck and then rail brought through the town like garnet in the nearer mines. They're fixing up where the old McIntyre Iron mines were and the village of Adirondac near Mt. Marcy further north. So it's been printed.
"The Onion" has moved from Wisconsin to NYC.
