I don't doubt it. I was there 8 days. It rained 8 days.
Well coming from Manchester you hardly need to tell me about rain. but i have discovered, to my surprise, that the further north you go the weather doesn't always get worse. i go to Lancaster Uni and to me if feels like i live on the equator ;) . Just a pity that i end up spending my 'summers', and i use the world very cautiously, back in Manchester :( . but hey you become used to it. And it makes those holidays abroad seem that much more exotic.Quote:

I was watching a show tonight on tv and they were talking about the invention of potato chips (crisps for our UK compadres) - blow me down if they weren't invented in Saratoga Springs at the Moon Lake Lodge Resort.Quote:

If it hadn't of been for VDr and Crimson Blonde, Saratoga Springs would have meant nothing to me.
I never really knew that either until I had was watching a show on the food network one night ..... I always love hearing little facts about the area.
Saratoga has a lot of history ... a lot of battles were fought here in the revolutionary war. Movies have been filmed at the race track and surrounding city.
Sea Biscuit, Billy Bathgate, The Horse Whisperer, The Last of the Mohicans ~ Portions have all been filmed in this area.
Pretty cool when you think about it ... such a common thing like chips/crisps tie us all in together :p
Yes....I agree....I especially enjoyed that scene in The Last of The Mohicans where the Americans were enjoying a bag of potato chips while the British were enjoying a barrel of crisps...(Act 3, Scene Four... if you want to check....).Quote:

Mr. Bistro has a knack for doing that :D
Sorry for the late post....I guess I'm a bit slow. It is interesting to hear where you are all from, expecially you New Yorkers. I was born and raised in a little town called Chestertown,NY.(exit 25 on I-87) Well,I was born in Glens Falls Hospital, for those of you familiar with small towns. :) My family owned a tiny diner called "The Coffee Shop" and we served many a cup a coffee on those cold winter days you spoke of. My family still lives up there so I get home as often as I can. Sure is a small world, isn't it?
Hey Penguingirl,
,,,,small world is right....my uncle was a police officer in glen falls, many many years ago....who knows but he drank coffee there...:)
