Clinton County New York

( I go through that part of Route 22 a few times each week, and I never noticed two 55 MOH signs. Are you sure about that?

The storage buildings are one hiding place, and another is the police station which is right on Route 22 now. I've been stopped a few times, and just got off with a warning, since I'm a local farmer, and I know all of the cops, except one new one. My wife was driving several months ago, and she got stopped, I leaned towards the window to say hello to whoever stopped her, and I was surprised by a brand new, very young Cambridge cop. He wasn't interested that we were local, and he gave my wife a ticket. We have so little crime around here, that when a local person gets a speeding ticket, it actually makes the papers. A few days later, all of our friends were calling to tease my wife about it. She wasn't amused. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif )

Mornin Rich,
OK, I was payin attention last thursday goin through the north side of town /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif The first 55 mph sign is directly across the street from the garage on the left. The second 55 mph sign is 600 ft north just before the lodge on the right. What I really want to do is stop and see how easy that first sign could be removed /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif But I guess if I got caught doin that it wouldnt go too good on me /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif At any rate, the night I got ticketed, that first sign was missin /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I still think youve have some beautiful country there, just watch out for the constables!

How are you doing? Are you still a state worker also?

Rich,

Yes, I still work for NYSDOT...have another 6.5 years to go before my retirement window opens. Then, not sure what will be in the cards. I'm still up on Wright Road, enjoyng the challenges of improving the property and continuing the home renovations. We finished a total rehab of an upstairs bedroom, bath, and front stairwell this year. This does it for the major house renovation work. Then, it'll be time to start going back to do maintenance work on the rooms we finished 15 years ago. And then, there's the barn maintenance that is always on-going.

Glad to hear your little farm is finally taking off. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Best wishes in this new venture. Take care.

...Bob

So they named a county in N Y after the Clintons did they?

Yep, you've got it right. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif That's why one of New York's two U.S Senators is named Clinton and why a former POTUS named Clinton lives in Westchester County, NY. It's anyone's guess what these two have planned for Clinton County, NY.

Hi Bob,
Boy, there are a lot of Wright Rds up that way /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif My buddie up in Hartford, just north of you by 30 mins is on Wright rd. Just another one of my silly observations /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Have a good day!

Hi Scott,

The name Wright is a common English name. Many immigrants and first settlers in New York back in the 1700s would name local roads after themselves. Same thing with the name Cambridge. I think there are about 15 villages and towns called Cambridge in 15 different U.S states....I know there's a Cambridge, VT /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Cambridge Ohio 55 miles up I 77 from here in Marietta , Ohio.
I think a couple of TBN members are from that fine city.
