On “Being Green”Ā and “Global Warming”Ā
I grew-up in Binghamton, New York ā actually a āsuburbā of Binghamton, New Yorkcalled West Corners. West Corners was a nice little community and, as a child, seemed more akin to āGreen Acresā and āThe Waltonsā than the nearby birthplace of such industrial stalwarts as Endicott-Johnson Shoes (remember āFather and Son Shoes”?), Link Simulation (the founding father of modern simulation) and that industrial giant, International Business Machines (IBM).
I remember the summers with great fondness. I used to wake-up early in the morning and head to āthe crickā ā also known as Nanticoke Creek ā with fishing rod in hand and old shoes (or at least soon-to-be old shoes). We used to fish all day long, catching minnows and crawdads by hand for bait. When we got bored, we swam. And when we got hungry, we started a campfire and cooked-up the fish and crawdads we had caught. Sometimes, and when in season, we would pick ears of corn and throw them on the fire ā husk and all. There is no better way to eat corn then roasted in their husks on an open fire
