Legacy Journal: B&B on the Erie Canal

Section:
Travel

Summary:
The Tow Path on the Erie Canal is a place with a connection to a significant part of the economic history of the entire region.

Main:

* A small group of bicyclists departed the Adam’s Basin Inn B&B , on Washington between Spencerport and Brockport, after fueling up with a filling gourmet breakfast prepared and serviced by our host Pat Haines.and her husband.

* Pat’s husband drove us and our bikes to our departure site 27 miles downstream to the west. Rural cobblestone farming country was the scene along Rt. 104 running parallel to the Lake Ontario shoreline.

* Our return bike route included no locks, but plenty of canal cross roads. After a lunch break, a chat this a transcontinental biking Scots lass, were returned to the Inn after 8 hrs for a shower and and a planned dinner out at a family Greek restaurant in the Victorian center of the college town of Brockport.

* One highlight of the two night one day our trip out of Rochester was the opportunity of visiting the Canal authority workmen manning the barges, tenders and dredges docked at Adam’s Basin. The bridge bells that sound the lifting of the bridges for the passing boat traffic adds to the authenticity of the setting.

Legacy Journal: Thursday Thoughts: Twitter, Triathlons for Horses, and Obama One on Tour

Section:
Commentary

Summary:
“Winning may not be everything, but losing has little to recommend itself” D. Cal. Senator, Dianne Feinstein.

* Twitter seems to be a kind of miniblog for quick social networking for device packing mobile professionals who expect instant access to ....?

Eventing at venues like the recent Stewart Equestrian Trials in western upstate New York, on the other hand, is basic athletic competition. Dressage, Cross Country, and Stadium Jumping are the three classic events spread over three days. That level of horse and rider interaction is the real deal. Animated mustang cartoon fantasy fiction like Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron out of Dream Works by Hollywood, is at best misleading, at worst, childish. The stock characterization of pure wild mustangs, pristine noble natives, and profoundly evil wranglers, cavalrymen and railroad builders is standard drivel.

* Stock characterization and standardized drivel has been the story of the early U.S. national campaign to date. The pace will quicken after the party conventions.

Main:
The Obama camp may use Twitter, but do not expect to see the campaign abandon the jet, O one , for time on horse back any time soon. Meanwhile, the candidate is taking a quickie course in geopolitics , international security, and global trade. Attempts to correct and clarify misstatements ( “poor choice of words) on Jerusalem, the recent success of the U.S. military in Iraq, and an over simplification of American interests in the Middle East are not reassuring to those who have long worked these and other issues.

Legacy Journal: Sunday Supplement

Section:
Briefs

Summary:
“The way to cash in on a gold rush is to supply the miners with what they want and need and let them take the risks” --- the merchants of Sacramento, the apple growers of Oregon, the suppliers of St. Louis, and the bankers of New York.

A recent streamed video interview at Syracuse University Newhouse School of Communication of Google’s Eric Schmidt by media writer Ken Auletta representing the New Yorker is an example of how the New Media is viewing the business model opportunity offered by video on the Internet.

Main:
Even the vast resources of risk capital, resources and talent available to Google are being put to the ultimate tests of business success---- can it be build and can the costs be covered and the risk return a reasonable profit within a reasonable time?

Meanwhile, the people a Google say yes, many students at Syracuse say probably, and the New Yorker seems to indicate they will explore the question at the next conference they sponsor.

Consider the possibilities of You Tube and streamed video :

Music: low cost of entry of for MTV-like video promoting events, music genres, groups, labels, CDs and tracks.

Sports: non professionial events like club sports.

News: real time reality news and weather.

Entertainment: coverage of small local events.

Education: Demonstrations on How To--- Fix a Flat. What the geology of the Bluffs at Lake Raquette in the Adirondacks looks like.

Class field work projects like wetland restoration, stream flow, and building a site specific realtime weather recording station.
