Scroll down, There are some pretty impressive shots there. It's going to be cold in Tunkhannock over the weekend, but otherwise pleasant. So if you feel like taking a nice winter drive ... After all, gas prices are way down.
The two B&W shots are by Chip Forelli: Tree Island (top) and Sunrise - Gridline Road.
The color shots are by Robert Rodriguez, From top: Storm Clouds over Mohonk, NY; Stony Brook, Harriman; and Boulder Beach, ME.
It really is beautiful up there. I just prefer cable TV, high-speed Internet, and malls within a twenty minute drive.
ReplyDeleteBTW, gas prices are creeping up again. $1.55 from a low in the $1.30s over the holidays.
Well, you're in luck, Frank. They have WiFi and satellite TV - and malls within a 10-minute drive. And several good restaurants. And yeah, I noticed the gas prices, but look at it this way, in the year I was born it sold for 19 cents a gallon. Adjusted for inflation, that $2.55, a dollar less than it is today.
ReplyDeleteThe high cost of fuel this past year did serious damage to our economy and society. After a brief reprieve gas prices are inching back up again. Our nation should not allow other nations to have such power over us and our economy . We have so much available to us in the way of technology and free sources of energy. WE seriously need to get on with becoming an energy independent nation. We are spending billions upon billions in bail out dollars. Why not spend some of those billions in getting alternative energy projects set up. We could create clean cheap energy, millions of badly needed new green jobs and lessen our dependence on foreign oil all in one fell swoop. I just read an eye opening book by Jeff Wilson called The Manhattan Project of 2009. It would cost the equivalent of 60 cents per gallon to drive and charge an electric car.If all gasoline cars, trucks, and SUV's instead had plug-in electric drive trains, the amount of electricity needed to replace gasoline is about equal to the estimated wind energy potential of the state of North Dakota. Why don't we use some of the billions in bail out money to bail us out of our dependence on foreign oil? This past year the high cost of fuel so seriously damaged our economy and society that the ripple effects will be felt for years to come. www.themanhattanprojectof2009.com
