NYCO suggests that bloggers look through their archives, and that seems like a good idea in a period when I feel I haven't been giving Living in Dryden the attention that I used to. Looking back to the end of March in 2004, 2005, and 2006, I was writing about:
2004
The Town and Village were talking about sewer issues. How much has advanced? Sadly, I don't think much has changed, except that the Town is now installing flow meters.
I reported on a state issues forum Assemblywoman Barbara Lifton held at Dryden Town Hall, kind of like the one she had earlier this month.
The Journal was starting up the Our Towns section, something that mostly survives as Town columns being consigned to page 3B with a lot of advertising.
2005
Cornell held a session on burning grass pellets for heat on Mount Pleasant.
The Town's handling of the golf course sale failed to impress me.
I reported on Town Board meeting minutes, something I should really be doing more frequently.
2006
State debt was growing, for all the usual only-in-New-York reasons.
Deer visited my yard, just like they did last night.
The big question in state politics was how upstate was or wasn't part of Appalachia.
Hmmm.... a lot of the same issues keep coming up, though I feel a lot brighter about the Town Board these days. It helps that both major parties are represented there. It helps a lot.
