Legacy Journal: Real Cold in Carolina, Coal, and ABR

Section:

Almanac

Summary:

* Some media pundits are predicating that the weather in the northwest corner of South Carolina may effect the Huckaby turnout.  They may not be aware of the North Dakota effect.  A National Geographic writer made the mistake of appearing to dis the state in a recent article.  The temperate response of the state’s citizenry and leadership prompted Charlie Gibson of ABC News to name the state “Person of the Week” Have a good weekend.

** Scots have been using coal for a long time. Coal, iron and willing workers helped build the railroad lines that allowed the for the rapid and reliable delivery of mail, newspapers and people a throughout the British Isles.  Books publishing flourished and station book sales boomed as a result.

*** Meanwhile, look for a ABR movement early this year.  It will have stealthy and crafty anti-Mormon tone.  But, it is a dangerous and unpopular tactic.  Recently, the grandson of M. Gandhi, a resident of Brighton, NY was asked to resign his position with a University of Rochester affiliated peace and non-violence foundation after he wrote a web piece offensive to local Jews with holocaust sensitivities. 

Main:

:  Folks in most parts of the country are not intimidated by weather.  Nor are they fearful of cyclic ice age climate change that moves at a glacial geologic creeping pace.
A recent biography of van Allen of Iowa has a picture of him and other scientists working on defense related missile and satellite research at the South Pole in 1958 where the average temperature was reported as - 58 degrees.  His former grad student, James Hanson of NASA Goddard is not mentioned in the book.

::  The slums of Glasgow, Scotland were fertile recruiting grounds for early Mormons including Brigham Young.  The Eccles family is one example.  Mariner Eccles was in the FDR administration and was part of the first draft of the Federal Reserve System.

:::  And yes, there is a small book out on the life and record of Mitt Romney. Predictably, it is modest, polite, and plain spoken. 

::::  And aside.  The Swedish firm, MySQL will become part of Sun Micro of Silicon Valley.  To the best of our knowledge, the deal is Carbon Neutral.
