Fun, perhaps --
I don’t know if you will find these funny or simply interesting. The following two quotes are from the daily paper:
“I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you’ve probably misunderstood what I said.”
Alan Greenspan, former chairman, Federal Reserve Board.
“I served seven years as the chair of the Princeton economics department where I had responsibility for major policy decisions, such as whether to serve bagels or doughnuts at the department coffee hour.”
Ben Bernanke, current chairman, Federal Reserve Board.
Gorgeous gorgeous photos--but that second one stopped me a moment with the instant thought of, wow--who *built* that? Who stood over that gap and and and...!
ReplyDeleteAs for the Federal Reserve, thank heavens it's going to be Janet Yellen--the woman who warned Larry Summers et all that the economy was going to do what it did do in 2009. Saw it coming. Knows her stuff.
Seriously, I agree with the scientists on the water thing. Even though it feels like there's too much of the stuff here (rain, damp -- a few dry days are noticed when I can mow the lawn filled with moss and mushrooms) I wouldn't want to live in a place lacking the stuff.
ReplyDeleteAs for falls, my favorite place to see them was Ricketts' Glen Pennsylvania this time of year.
