Ya Gotta Buy What Ya Gotta Buy
Jun. 7th, 2025 10:01 amOh, this is sad! 😢
The Pine Bush UFO Fair & parade is scheduled for today, and it is raining.
In the mid-1980s, Pine Bush, New York, was the UFO Capital of the Western World. Hundreds of reports described a V-shaped craft adorned with colored lights that hovered slowly and silently in the sky, a sighting that became known as "the Westchester Boomerang" 'cause I guess it was sighted in Westchester County, too.
Of course, Pine Bush is relatively near what was, in the mid-80s, a military base, Stewart Airfield.
I remain agnostic on the subject of UFOs.
And will probably toddle off to Pine Bush anyway in a few minutes 'cause short drive.
###
Meanwhile, despite the humid, hot, sticky weather of the past few days, I have been trying to hold off on AC because AC is terrible for the environment (energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions 'cause refrigerants.)
So, yesterday I bought myself a portable DREO fan, which I gotta say, is just amazing 'cause it keeps me cool even when the Patrizia-torium is a sauna.
DREO is made in China, which I don't like. I've been boycotting goods made in China since forever for a reason nobody really cares about anymore: Tibet.
But sometimes ya gotta buy what ya gotta buy.
