12/16/2005 - Everything you need to know about NY State

As I amble on towards Saratoga Springs it occurs to me to talk about this, my second state. The Dutch first settled these parts in 1624 (as BJV would remind me) but yielded to the British after getting the Gouda kicked out of them in 1664.

During the revolutionary period, NY contributed such luminairies as Alexander Hamilton (the first Secretary of the Treasury) and John Jay (the First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the US).

New York has 148 accredited colleges, 1300 museums and 400 golf courses. It has many professional sports teams and the New York Jets. It has 527 miles of canals and 57 locks (although I had 3 when I lived in the Bronx, so I tend to doubt this last statistic).

Overall, a pretty fine state to be walking through.

12,100 empyrical steps today, cheers.
