Walking down the sidewalk in Philly around ‘87 I happened on the GWAR tour bus parked on a side street. It was a repurposed school bus with horns and “GWAR” on the destination sign. They were all in there, sleeping with all their instruments and Gwar stuff. They have to be in their early 60s by now.
Ahhh Seneca Falls. My father worked at Goulds Pumps. That factory is still there, now ITT I believe. I don’t remember the yeast factory. Beautiful part of the state.
Elicker is a milquetoast dem. A few years ago they removed the road sign acknowledging New Haven as the birthplace of GW Bush. New Haven’s Defenders Monument recognizing a Revolutionary war battle is overseen by a tattered flag that needed replacing years ago. The town green and train station are free-range psych wards. The local emergency rooms are chronically overcrowded. The streets are full of unregistered cars with out-of-state paper tags. The year started with a door dash guy getting carjacked and murdered by a 19 yo female. Good pizza. There’s a snapshot.
the Romans simply created Monte Testaccio to dispose of broken amphorae
I dug into that pile in 1978 as part of some educational travel. We encountered all the broken amphorae you'd ever want to find, and earthworms the size of snakes.
