Simon!
 
I hope others are taking the time to read your thoroughly interesting blog  
on life upstate in 2050.  I'm impressed by your creativity and wide range  of 
potential conditions.  Thank you for doing this.  It's a great way  to explore 
our future.

The  solar panel question raised lots of questions about what the world 
will be  like a few decades from now.  I've been pondering the same kinds 
of  questions for a while, and thanks to a couple of weeks of insomnia, 
found  the time to write them up.

The first one  starts at my house near the 13/366 intersection in Dryden 
- others are all  over the state, in different voices from different 
perspectives.   I've tried to mix optimism and bleakness (usually in 
different stories),  along with conventional and unconventional 
development stories.  I  don't think these stories represent my personal 
forecast, but I tried to  ensure that they would be plausible.

If anyone here has suggestions or  even stories they'd like to submit 
please let me know.  Otherwise,  just enjoy the stories!

Thanks,
