Onondaga Lake! I know that this is a thread hijack (or it should be broken out into a new thread), but this is how clean it was back in the day:

Rockland Lake in Rockland County used to be a major ice supplier for NYC..Now I wouldn't throw garbage into it, that would be redundant..

Thank you.
I have to explain this all the time. It’s brackish to Poughkeepsie and tidal all the way up to Green Island where the first dam is.

fact. A few years ago we camped and kayaked at Schodack Island across the river from Albany. We had to watch the tide charts not to get mudded out in the creek, I had no idea before that

That’s really cool. That project is so big that Bruce Willis drove a truck through it in Diehard 3 in the mid nineties.

Exactly.
CNY and Upstate have a plethora of natural gas, and look how it's not being delivered to doorsteps. When that happens it will save families mucho coin.
Everything about burning natural gas is better than the fuel oil I burn.

It ain’t ORDA overseeing building it but Utah’s Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA)
Mayflower Mountain hooking up with Deer Valley.
What’s a few more folks in the Wasatches?

Yup.
Put in a new gas hot water heater Saturday as the old one had shit the bed.
When we were getting rid of the old one in the scrap metal pile at the town transfer station someone in front of us was unloading a gas water heater from their trailer.
Dude said it was still working after 30 years but wanted to switch to electric.
Go figure.
