Legacy Journal: Tuesday Lessions: Maps, Tall Tales, Western Trails

Section:
Almanac

Summary:
“Some politicians can put more words into small ideas than most other folks.” --- A. Lincoln

* Maps: The National Geographic Society, NG the Magazine, and GeoPedia have a Strong feature on Permafrost with a carbon twist.

Tall Tales, embellished recollections by office seekers are as American as Apple pie.

* Who was the first American to make the Pacific coast to Atlantic coast overland crossing on all U.S territory?

Main:
: It is claimed that Permafrost locks up more than 800 Gigtons of carbon dioxide.

:: Hillary Clinton now states that she misspoke when she claimed to have been under the threat of snipper fire when she visited Bosnia ten years ago. Her campaign has recently ken on the desperate appearance of a long death march..

::: Recall the year that New Albion moved from Mexican (Californio) to Americano control during the Polk Presidency with persistent prodding by Senator Benton of St. Louis, Missouri. The year was 1846, called the Decision Year by Bernard DeVoto in his 1943 historical narrative of the 750,000 sq. mile addition to the bicoastal continental U.S, and the runup to the Civil War to preserve that Union.

Legacy Journal: Abe Lincoln Legacy

Section:
Feature

Summary:

“Well, I wish some of you would tell me the brand of whiskey that Grant drinks. I would like to send a barrel of it to my other generals."--- President Abe Lincoln

Main:
The first Fisk’s to settle in the Oregon Territory were part of a group who followed the Gold Trail to Canyonville and what is now Grant County in eastern part of the state. They were true pioneers who left Carroll County, Illinois, 1 May 1852, at a time Lincoln was living , prospering, and practicing law railroad in Springfield, He was circuit rider, an Illinois legislator, and U.S. congressman. Abe’s friend, Ed Baker, Black Hawk War volunteer , fellow lawyer, loyalist in helping delivery 35% of California vote for the new President. Late, Baker became Oregon’s first U.S. Senator, and the only member of Congress to be fatally wounded during the Civil War. He was eulogized in the Federal Capitol building rotunda with Lincoln in attendance.

It is no accident that the original Oregon Fisks were Whig Republicans, supported Lincoln, put “Union on the state flag voted for Grant, and hated Prohibition. Taxes on alcohol served in small town saloons were the primary source of revenue for early local government services including law enforcement and city water.

Legacy Journal: Polls, Surveys and Statistics; Lip-Synching; the Persian Gulf

Section:
News: International

Summary:
“Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable.” --- Mark Twain

* The average American does not trust polls or pollsters, they do not like phone calls at mealtime from bucket shop mills conducting survey, and they are wary of statistics and models when they proport to predicate the future of complex events like life span any particular aging person, national economies, climate.

A Middlebury College Physics professor, in part of a Video Course on using science to reconstruct, model or simulate the earth’s temperature record over the past 4.6 billion years, was unable to give one example of how the proxy studies of tree rings or oxygen isotopes are yielding reliable and verifiable temperature data today.

* Bush in the U.A.Es and Saudi Arabia is flying the flag and promoting two bedrock keystones of American Foreign Policy since WW II, the containment of nuclear weapons and flow of oil out of the Persian Gulf.

Main:
: The Pew Trust does some good work. Eileen Clausen is their geocrat director of their Center on Global Climate Change.

:: the winter OLLI series at Osher RIT includes an offering taught by Tim McDonnell titled Amazing Life of Earth. He is funny, fast paced, and fact based. His experience as a presenter is evident. He has no notes, his Power Point slides have a point, and his handouts are clear and concise. Good stuff. A follow on “science class” on Global Warming was a less successful effort to “ lip-synch” the IPPC and Al Gore.

::: Meanwhile, the good news is that at least one F-16 Falcon U.S. pilot, a Persian Gulf pro, will be back in country in time to do some serious snow skiing in the Rockies. Way to go Major!
