Yeah,,,I thought so..NIH(not invented here)..so goodbye..it didn't last long.

Sorry but I have nothing further to add to 'nothing on the screen for New Yawkers.

Yep us out here in forest and down trading hides on the riverbanks..we don't know reality do we? Not the New Yawk reality. Glad that I don't.

BTW when it said LOCAL then I thought perhaps MORE than NYC..I must be wrong.

Back to your local programming.

At first I thought you were as snarky as me, but you were not. The truth is, most people see history through a pretty thick filter of the modern trade paradigm. People have not been trading 'food' for thousands of years. Up until the last 100 years or so, most food has been local, and travelers found food along the way. Only petroleum (mostly) transport has made long-distance food possible. Long distance trade in the past was always for hard goods or dried spices.

I will leave a less cranky bit of off-the-cuff data in the main thread...cheers.
