Yes indeed, and upstate NY is a good place to be from.


I always get confused about NY. I am never sure what is upstate,
downstate or something else.
I lived in Kingston and Binghampton/Endicott/Union. I was never sure
where I was. I know I got snowed on 11/10/79 and it sucked. I also
lost a ball on my drive on #1 at the IBM course in Endicott. It landed
in the snow and I did not look for it ;-)



A girl I dated in high school grandmother lived in Wellsville, NY.
Grandma said she did leave the hosed for 6 weeks one winter because of all
the ice and snow. My mother grew up a mile from the Wyoming border in
Nebraska and she said they saw 40 below zero. Screw that, I grew up next
to Berkeley, Ca. I saw frozen water one morning on the street in my
youth. We all stood around looking amazed. As to horses, man invented
4x4 so you did not have deal with horses.
