We stayed at the falls Marriott. It is pretty nice over there.

I was born in Niagara Falls NY and spent summers there at my
grandparents. We've actually ridden bicycles to Canada! The falls is
amazing, what with about 750,000 gallons of water a second!
Here's a good website:

http://www.niagarafallslive.com/Fact...gara_Falls.htm
Notice the part where in 1969 they shut off the American Falls
completely with cofer dams. We went to see it, it was a strange site!
Twenty percent of the world's fresh water goes over the falls.

Aside from the falls, which are spectacular, the best "sites" are on the
Canadian side, especially the gardens. The American side...not so terrific.

Great view! We're planning on a helicopter ride, so maybe we'll get at
least one good view. I wonder if the Marriott folks would mind if we
just took the elevator up for some pictures?

You are going to have to chat up a guest. The hallways are all on the
street side and the rooms on the falls side.
You could try the Casino/bar next door but it might be cheaper to just
get a room at the Marriott ;-)

That's because you don't know a damned thing about Niagara Falls, NY
apparently. There are many, many great things to do and see on the
U.S. side. The escarpment, the power plant tour, the gorge, the Maid
of the Mist, the under the falls tour, the aquarium, Fort Niagara, and
on and on. I guess, though you could choose the Canadian side, and go
to their cheesy casinos.

If you do a chopper ride of the falls, much cheaper to take off from the
USA. For starters, GST+PST just get people just-****ed. Plus American
companies charge less for starters.

Ah, everyone should see Niagra once, stay on the US side and run over for
the day. Been there 3 or 4 times myself. But agree, will never likey
return. Would rather go boating/fishing in Northwestern Ontario.

Go ride the boats on the Canadian side.


What is the difference between the Canadian boat and the US boat? They
both take you on a 15 minute ride up to Horseshoe falls and back and
start right across the river from each other.
We watched that show out the window. I didn't want to take the ride
after that.
You can walk behind the falls and that is interesting.

http://gfretwell.com/electrical/new_...he%20falls.jpg

The rest of the pictures I took back there are just falling water.

I wish I had a picture of the sign at Rock Point Park, around the
corner from the falls a few miles where they tell you not to touch the
water. Later that day people were standing in the spray of Lake Erie
with their mouth open.


If they still have them, there are caves under the falls.

You are full of it. Twenty percent of the river water in North America
is a far cry from the world's anything. Seen any icebergs go over the
falls? Big slabs of water soaked sandstone perhaps? That is where the
fresh water is, not in that or any other river. As for the actual flow
over the falls, it isn't what it used to be. Lots of water goes
through turbines instead. Sooner or later, all the water will go for
hydro power, and the falls will be dry.

And you believe that. 98% of the worlds fresh water is either ground
water or ice, and none of it goes over the falls. Twenty percent of
the river water in North America goes over the falls, but so what?

That's not what it says. It says 20% of the world's fresh water lies
in the Great Lakes and most of it flows over Niagara Falls

Hey, Harry, about those alleged technical papers you wrote about
structures....
I'd love to have a discussion with you about that, are you up to it?
Let's start with the easy stuff. When you were analyzing the seismic
forces on the structure, what was the fast period and slow period
spectral response coefficients? What were the shear wall components?
And did you use the mapped spectral response, or the analyzed spectral
response?

Leaving for Niagara Falls tomorrow. Be back next Thursday.

Ya'll be good.

Oh, and thanks for all the suggestions and advice!

We stayed at the falls Marriott. It is pretty nice over there.

This out the window of our room

Great view! We're planning on a helicopter ride, so maybe we'll get at
least one good view. I wonder if the Marriott folks would mind if we
just took the elevator up for some pictures?

We're going to be staying here.

Watch for a while and watch the chunks of sandstone aquifer and the
icebergs go over the falls.

After deducting for groundwater and glaciers, 2% is left for the
rivers and lakes. The world is lot bigger than than the Lakes
watershed. THere is a true 20% figure out there, the percentage of the
river water in North America.

The Pink Army is not known for tolerance. Racist, sexist, anti-gay,
anti-ponytail, anti-American, anti-anything that isn't toe up with
their narrow minds...

The Pink Army? Is that the new name of the GOP? From your descriptors,
sounds just like the Republicans.
