The week before I graduated, I overlooked the bicycle lock while parking at the Union. Damn !
Somewhere in Iowa City, that metal flake brown Varsity still lives...
And it will probably live FOREVER! :-)
A book comes to mind - The Ghost Map by Stephen Berlin Johnson. Its about London in the mid 1800s when the last great cholera epidemic occurred. Without going into detail, it describes the sanitation system which consisted of people who cleaned out cisterns and cess pools and sold the night soil to the farmers. There was a whole class of people who made a living off of collected dog poop to sell the the tanners who used it to soften leather. It goes on and on. Fascinating book. One of my favorites. We’re not that far from those times.
That's it in a nutshell...
Owl Gore who started this should be hung for treason...

Somehow this shows how concerned about the poor they really are. lol.
