Columbine
Petersburg
I ended up deciding to drive out to Massachusetts this afternoon and do a short jot along the Taconic Crest Trail. I haven’t been out this way in years.
There are some nice homesteads out this way as you head out of Petersburg this way. Ramshackle but beautiful in that way. They’re real, not prentious. Blood, mud and manure. Wood smoke and diesel.
Some day I’ll have land like that, when, I do not know, but I can’t imagine living the suburbanites way of living. Obviously in a state with a lot more freedom then New York. Beautiful country but these mountain people are getting screwed at both ends.
Breaking Links and SEO Optimization
That’s what I am doing today. I have been running into issues with the blog performance lately, and a lot of broken links. The blog has just gotten too big after 25 or 30 years of posts and photos, and as much as I like human-readable filenames, keeping them up-to-date and unbroken has become an issue, so I am switching them off in favor of post ID number. This also makes it shorter and easier for linking. But it will break a lot of things for a while, but the blog was in need of a big clean up regardless.
Downtown Rochester 1960
By 1960, significant progress had been made on the Rochester Interloop, also known as the moat encircling Downtown Rochester. Much of the interloop had been completed or was under construction, a configuration that remains largely intact to this day.
