FROM THE MAILBOX -- KALSHI, MEASLES, EATALIA, QUAKER BRIDGE, POTHOLE REPORTS, FAUCI, AND "ANY CHANCE?"

 

Dry at last---one thing is certain: none of us will have to water for some time---fungi is up, some good, some bad....more on that later...and

Finally time for these--please note: a few of these questions were posed and answered not long ago but the requestors missed it---re-posts of those as well as updates:

---To the reader looking for a certain post on the Quaker Bridge replacement, it is possible you are looking for a 2025 WEEK OF JANUARY 16TH Gazette article----contact EDITOR Gary Cahill directly for a copy. 

AND ICYMI--BRIDGE has been taken down; see photos and thanks Bob Anderson: PARTS ONE AND TWO HERE

---To the reader who had so many questions: Yes we know about the lawsuit; Kalshi says it is political theatre. Meanwhile, the CFTC filed an emergency motion in federal court arguing that New York’s lawsuit against Kalshi constitutes unconstitutional state overreach and poses irreparable harm to federal oversight of derivatives markets. You can track all the legal machinations in detail if you have a subscription to sites like Reuters---for the Southern District of New York, visit the PACER Portal.  Sorry but many of us are simply not well-versed in derivatives.  Try a few AI programs; some, however, are more reliable than others.  We like Google AI.

--Confidential to ANY CHANCE THIS WILL HAPPEN? You missed it:  The answer was NO a few months back and nothing has changed since.  Again, if you hear otherwise, please advise.

--Confidential to CAN'T REMEMBER---the restaurant was called Eatalia, closed and sold, now Hudson Oven, prior to that it was Flava; folks raved about the veal.....this article may no longer be available: go to EverythingCroton: EAT WITH YOUR EYES AT EATALIA, WESTCHESTER MAGAZINE

--To the commenter who left a running treatise on the subject; again, there was no Croton measles outbreak here in any of the years you cite; please provide your sources. Or check with the Croton Historical Society 

--To the commenter/troll who believes that Fauci is essentially being treated unfairly, save your aching arches. That road is closed here and closing elsewhere.   

--TO THE READER WHO ASKED: "IS THIS REALLY TRUE?"

RESPONSE: YES, THE ARTICLE APPEARS TO BE QUITE ACCURATE; thanks Croton.News for the heads up; read more at the link and if you have any further questions, you should really address them to village staff and/or your attorney:  Your Online Pothole Report No Longer Counts: Croton Quietly Adopted a Paper-Only Notice Law — Croton-on-Hudson, NY
