Ok. This is the year ending blog and a good time to sum up. Let's take a nostalgic look back at the major events in Ithaca during 2003.
Ok. Let's take a nostalgic look back at the major events in Ithaca during the last century.
Ok. Let's adopt a slighty longer perspective. Let's take a nostalgic look back at the major events in Ithaca between 1000 and 1900 AD.
Well, if you look back even further, you'd be able to point out that sometime in the year 150,000 BC Gropey the Dinosaur stubbed his toe on a boulder in the vicinity of Fall Creek.
Otherwise, nothing ever happens in Ithaca, producing a strange distortion of time shared by most of Ithaca's permanent residents. Some Ithacans report that they remember a time when Ithaca wasn't gorges. Yes, the sensation of time lapsing is oddly warped so that we're tricked into thinking that the space of time between the disappearence of the last dinosaur and the election of Carolyn Peterson as mayor is about a week. On the other hand, we're led to believe that December lasts 200,000 years around these parts. Go figure. Well, it does mean that you usually have another 75,000 years of shopping days before Christmas.
Maybe 2004 will produce some major events. Let's see. Happy New Year. Comments invited at: ezrakidder@gmail.com - Peace, Ezra at 6:36 AM
