I don't think there is much oil in Arctic. There is an urgent necessity to bring in Clean Green Technologies. There is also an urgent necessity to diversify the energy sources so that we are not dependent on just one type of source. A diverse Energy base and a Clean Green Energy base will give more stability to the world economy and make it more immune to Shocks and manipulations. President Bush.jr himself recently mentioned that we have to shift to new energy technologies. The Administration's plan to return to the Moon is mainly to mine the Moon for Energy sources.[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Date: Mon, 1 May 2006 16:02:34 EDTSubject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Light up the Senate switchboard now!We've been lighting up the switchboards for weeks now demanding thatdrilling be allowed where ever oil is suspected of being found, ANWAR West Coast, East Coast, Gulf of Mexico, Cornfields of Jefferson County Iowa!

You have to do it in *layers so to speak. You know which places you want to shop for different things. So you plan your week based on which neighborhoods you're going to. For example, you live lower east side and were traveling to upper west side to go to Fairway Market (http://www.fairwaymarket.com/index.cfm?Area=Locations) or Zabar's just a couple of blocks further north on Broadway. Perhaps you just need some gourmet cheese and you're also meeting Lauren (Bacall) for a cup of coffee. You wait until you are done with all your hobnobbing (Lauren likes to talk). You grab your groceries, make certain you have your canvas shopping bag, go shopping, and work your way back southeast via 3 different subways. If it's early enough in the day and the weather is nice enough, you may walk a station stop or two above ground. The 1/2/3 subway station is about 2 blocks away. You can also head to 72nd and take a cross-town bus and then a number of different subways. I've made it back with four full shopping bags with no problems. It's a hassle, to be sure, but if you get in the groove of city life it is enjoyable (in better weather of course!).

I found it be extremely easy to get around NYC with no car. Between walking, buses, subways, you can get absolutely anywhere. It takes a while to get the routes down but then you click into gear. Wherebouts do you go, and for what? I'm a midwesterner who recently visited NYC, but I'm just curious how someone in heavy urban setting does errands, etc, as opposed to someone in less urban setting. There are supermarkets within a few blocks wherever you live, at least in Manhattan. The clerks are trained in packing your goods into bags so they're well balanced and compact. Most people bring shopping carts, or have their stuff delivered for a few bucks. There are pharmacies and banks and dry cleaners and so on on almost every block. The main streets--the avenues-- are crammed solid with stores and shops of all kinds, so most of what you need is likely to be within easy walking distance. As I understand it, NYC doesn't have any Wal-Marts so, sadly, New Yorkers are paying way more for all of the above items. If not, you take a bus or subway, or a taxi if it's not rush hour. Or you ride a bicycle if you don't mind the fumes. New Yorkers walk a lot more than folks in rural areas.
