Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Where I live is only half an hour by car from upstate NY. The closest towns in NY would be Massena and Ogdensburg. The closest major cities would be Rochester and Syracuse, and the closest smaller city is Watertown (which is where we get our PBS TV station from). It's all a lovely area, not much different than where I live, really. Pierre Upstate New York: Rita Hey Rita, my dad and grandparents were both from upstate NY. Where does your Dad live?

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Oh my gosh Pierre, I almost went to school in Watertown. Just a few miles from the border as I recall. It was almost a done deal. The only reason I changed my mind is the weather, too cold for my bones. I love the scenery, but you just can't beat Pueblo's weather. Hot and dry. (Kinda like Arizona, but with 4 seasons). The irony of it all. I knew Watertown would come back to me one day, small world.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 It means he just rode along on the trip to Syracuse (someone else was the conductor) and then took over as conductor going somewhere from there.
