In granting land to Zephaniah Platt of Poughkeepsie, New York - who went on to establish the new city of Plattsburgh to buffer emerging American interests in the Saint Lawrence River valley and Lake Champlain valley after the American victory in the American Revolutionary War - the centralized American authority proclaimed the area including and surrounding the old French trading areas and Iroquois settlement to be refounded as the settlement of Plattsburgh in 1785.

Hi Jane!

Love your graphic!

I was just reading through the other Gala thread - like this post from COBOL2Java :-)

Reply to another poster: Its not a political event, hes a guest speaker. Stop whining like Cruz.

COBOL2Java’s post:
A new entry for the American lexicon:

Cruzing: To whine annoyingly and unnecessarily.
[Mother to children in the back seat] “Will you two stop cruzing! We’ll get to the playground soon!”

I doubt I’ll ever get to Plattsburgh, but if I do, I’ll get your advice ;-)

Thanks for new .. fun and informative .... thread , nik.

Of course I did poorly on Trivia.. Knew Mark T and Katherine H

Listened to all of candidates last night. Trump won the crowd... K and C bored them. Naysayers will say T should have been more topical w/issues. I say it was a GALA and he did the correct thing

off to chiropractor and then work.. will be back for PM rally tonight.

later..

VP possibilities (Disclaimers to anyone -I DID NOT SAY MY CHOICES)

Freepersup… sorry I did not get back to you last night. Pretty tired.

I have seen a lot of lists.

The names I have seen that I don’t believe DJT would ever consider are:

Ted Cruz
Marco Rubio
Jeb Bush
Scott Walker
Nikki Haley
Paul Ryan
Condi Rice
Mia Love
Sarah Palin
Carly Fiorina
Rand Paul
Scott Brown

The names that I think are POSSIBILITIES” and on short list but with * to meeting criteria of politicians for “a season”. These are the ones I did a little background checking on

*Chris Christie
*Rudy Guliano
*Rick Perry
*Susana Martiniz
*Tim Scott
*John Kasich (prob not)
Rick Santorim(prob not)
Ben Carson (prob not)
John Bolton
Allen West
*Mike Huckabee
*Mike Pense

But I really REALLY think he will surprise us all and pick someone NOT on these lists now
