Andrew Jackson in '24

National debt is enormous, let's get that balanced at least.

Cook stoves are pretty neat.

I spent about 12 years as a kid in Utica, Ithaca and Syracuse. Even then, I loved the local history and the people who came to NY from Europe as well as the natives. I loved learning about the Seven Tribes of the Iroquois. I remember having my mom take me to Taughannock Falls State Park to look for Indian arrowheads (didn’t find any). Mom was a great sport! You cannot beat a name like “Taughannock.”

Seventh Grade History was the best — NY State.

“Seventh Grade History was the best — NY State.”

Wasn’t it? It was all NYS. We had various field trips to historic sites. I remember our science class studied the glaciers that covered NYS a mile deep in ice and we took field trips to see glacial striations on bedrock and the glacial moraines at the end of Cayuga Lake. It was a great time.

I’m looking forward to what the LGBTQ+ contingent deposited in 1830

Yeah I wouldn’t e surprised if it goes back to Tappan Zee. A lot of people don’t seem to have adapted to the change to Cuomo. People are making noise about it.

They will find in the Time Capsule a Geraldo Rivera doll with pins in it.

I did eat some LRP rations back in the 70’s. Basically the same thing as MREs
There were a few that were ok, but really not much better than C-rats for the most part.

Aren’t those from the current Pentagon manual of approved wear for General officers?

No doubt they're adhering to a rich uniform history. Notice an ensemble for most every occasion.

I notice you didn’t post the approved undress for DIA personnel.

That information is top secret, eyes only, SCIF material. Even Hunter is prohibited from viewing it.
However, I'm leaking what's approved for closed door Congressional viewing.

Just watched the opening of the lead box. It was empty.

HA! Big build up for nothing. Was Geraldo in the area?

You tube has the entire ceremony. One of the hosts actually mentioned Geraldo. Guaranteed there would be something in it. Still might be something in the walls of the box, who knows.
