But I don't want to land in the New York City
I don't want to land in Mexico
I don't want want to land on no Three Mile Island
I don't want to see my skin aglow
I don't want to land in Commanchee sky park
Or in Nashville, Tennessee
I don't want to land in no San Juan airport
Or in Yukon Territory
I don't want to land in no San Diego
I don't want to land in no Buzzard's Bay
I don't want to land on no Ayatolah

One such woman, Vettia Sabina, was buried in a family tomb in Naples with the inscription "Have" adorning it. After the eruption, they were known as the Have Nots.
To: Buttons12
Interesting, in that there are some houses in Pompeii that have Christian inscritions —showing that Christianity had arrived and was thriving by then in Italy.
To: BenLurkin
Many Pompeiians had left town early because the aqueduct was disrupted by pre-eruption shifts in the earth and cut off the water supply to the city. The city was buried in stone and ash, not lava, which is why it can be excavated with frescoes on the walls largely intact. Unlike Herculaneum it was not buried under a flow of super heated gas and mud.

They went as far and as fast as their rowboats could take them.

“Florsheim once called Missouri its home.”
Yepper, Gauss, the famous German math guy, had a couple of sons settle in St. Charles...One of their progeny beat my wife of 50+ years out of valedictorian in HS long long ago..

When I was in the Navy in the early 70s, I was on a ship home ported in Naples. We were out 75% of the time, so were in port one week per month and had plenty of time to explore. I found Herculaneum more interesting than Pompeii. The former was populated by more wealthy people, often visiting from Rome with summer villas there. Pompeii was more of an agricultural center. I remember seeing a cross on a wall in Herculaneum, with a small altar underneath, with the top surface slanted and under that, holes in the front of the altar that could hold scrolls. Vesuvius blew its stack about 15 or 16 years after St. Paul went through that area, on his fourth missionary visit.

Oops. At the end of the previous post, make that “journey” and not “visit.” He didn’t go there four times.
To: Eric in the Ozarks
Florsheim Imperials featured leather from inside the shoulder of a draft horse. So other shoe companies used non-drafted free agent horses?

Thanks BenLurkin. Volcanism is just barely catastrophism, but hey, Pompeii, and "Have".

Budweiser DID NOT originate the horse-drawn coach that is its logo.
The first use was by the Schaeffer family in St. Louis.
The Schaeffers made candles, animal tallow grease and other lubes. The Schaeffers sold the rights to the Clydesdales to the Anheuser family before the Busch family bought in...
