peak city grille & bar

This evening I moseyed to Apex NC with a coworker for dinner. We parked on N Salem St, and perused the available options, settling on Peak City Grille & Bar. Peak City is a former general store converted to a restaurant just a few years ago. 126 N Salem St is an unassuming store front, [...]

jim hansen – climatologist

A friend pointed-out Jim Hansen’s profile page on the NASA site: http://www.giss.nasa.gov/staff/jhansen.html. I find this quote amazing on his profile, “The hardest part is trying to influence the nature of the measurements obtained, so that the key information can be obtained.” He flat-out admits to manipulating data to better his study’s goal.

man of kent tavern and cafe

My friend Chris has been bragging-up Man of Kent in Hoosick Falls for months. So on this foray to the Great White North (aka ‘home’), we decided to go out for the evening. They’re located at 4452 Route 7 in Hoosick Falls, on the south side of the road, about 20ish minutes outside of Troy. [...]

gray!

In visiting my parents this week in upstate NY, I’m reminded of why I like winter – there’s snow, and it’s not nearly so bright out with lots of cloud cover. And at night it’s very easy to see because of the reflectivity of the blanket of snow on the ground. Ahh, home.
