Last time I was in NY was more than 20 years ago; buried one of my best friends in Newburgh

Sorry to hear that.
Newburgh is 2hrs from me. To close to the city for me, but actually very rural. I'm on the left side of the Catskills, but easy drive down there on 17. Goes below the mountains. I've been about 45min further to the Hudson, Rock Hill to pick up a mountain cur pup. Still didn't look like city that close. Must be you got to get on top of it before it turns urban?

I'm sitting here working on dinner. Quick and easy. Way to many birds to take care of, and horses, and pigs, and lions and tigers and bears ,oh my
@Beer can
Speaking if too many birds, had a stray blue Easter egger show up tonight...

Lol! :-D . Got anything cooking yet?
Now that I've put over 30 in the freezer, culled down to just breeders, I'm going to have a couple cornishX pullets just happen to appear. Dw had been so mad about my feed bill I didn't dare pick them up yet. Have someone that saved a couple healthy one's for me, going to try crossing them with my white naked neck cockerel.
Seriously hun, I don't know where they came from...

yeah I've got about 40 more to send to freezer camp but I'm down about 50 from where I was a month ago so 4 new birds won't hurt

And I'm working on dinner, about done now

Don't worry, I'd spend time with you.

Nooooooooooo! Haven't I suffered enough?!

Hey all, how was your guys' day? I'll tell you about my day:

Today in ASL, I had to make up a story in less than five minutes and present it to my class, it was about a tree falling down then people built a house out of it complete with windows, doors, and a garage. In band I learned and completed a new piece, and in personal finance, we are learning how to balance a checkbook and learn how to budget correctly so we won't become broke. Of course some 13 year olds don't have a checkbook yet...or a budget...but I can make one! Also, I made a new (well, not new I've known her for a year...) friend and she wants me to come over for a sleepover and see her horses! And dog and cat. And then I have GEMs at 6:30. Okay diatribe over

I am so happy and proud of you!!

Runt, that is against the BYC rules to put your age on/in a post.

I love you, child!!

You'd find most the state like that. Don't get me wrong, there is much to love about upstate, much of it similar to anywhere in the Appalachia (just much colder winter) if you like farmland and forest.
Majority of the towns and small cities are pretty rough. It's a pretty depressed area, dead state.
I was just mentioning it to dw this summer ridding around side streets in one historical town. 'Dang, can you imagine what this town looked like a hundred yrs ago?' Beautiful houses, run down and boarded up, some made into aapartment houses for 'low income'. Worse further towards the city where the taxes ramp up even more. Good jobs are hard to find, and they regulate the self-employed jobs so bad now, logging, bluestone quarrying, farming, etc.
So many people moving out most schools throughout upstate have merged two, three, four towns together.
